16. No Second Chances
After the Tenth Doctor came to in his first full episode, The Christmas Invasion, he had no idea what sort of man he was, be it funny, serious, condescending... and definitely not ginger. After dueling and defeating the Sycorax leader, he offered them the chance to leave the planet peacefully and never come back, as he was its defender. Turning his back, he started walking towards his friends and threw a handy satsuma at a platform release button which dropped the Sycorax off the ship. As it plummeted to its death, the Doctor stated that he was the type of man that didn't give second chances... Lesson Learned: While the lesson here isn't to necessarily NOT give a second chance, it's more that he gave them a chance of repentance to begin with. Everyone makes mistakes, sometimes major ones, and thus, everyone deserves a chance to make things right. The second, third, fifth chance after that... well, that's up to the person giving the chances. But everyone deserves at least the first one!
