Further to the thread about the clubs, what are yours? Let’s declare an amnesty in so far as we might not always demonstrate these on NSC (at least, the positive ones!). But, generally, in life, what do you Stand or Fall, for?

 

Is it PotG?

Keep everything in perspective - things are rarely as bad as they seem and there's always a solution
Treat others how you'd wish to be treated yourself
Pick your battles - most aren't worth the effort/stress

No second chances? Or do you mean for murder and the like?

I’m a habitual offender of this. Got to try harder because it’s just so true and most of the time it’s only me it takes its toll on. Cheers Dazzer, you’ve done something good today.

Those three don't always sit well together.

A law abiding citizen (I hate that phrase) is not always a good citizen.

I know plenty of folk who haven't always upheld the law. Many of whom I hold in more esteem than those who seemingly have.

Just trying to do the good and right thing is much harder to aspire to than simply upholding the law.

Interesting point. Hadn’t thought of it that way before. Like it.

Nah I'm a mean old sod

I can't think of any circumstances where it's happened and I haven't cut them from my life. If you can't trust the people you surround yourself with then who can you trust?
