The Importance of Punctuality

Some people certainly know how to let others wait and wait for a longer time when not punctual.

They turn up with some lame excuse for being late.

Why are you never on time for work, a meeting, a doctor's appointment, or a simple date?

Have you been late, but for a good reason?

Have you been late to meet a friend on occasion, or does this always happen to you?

Do you think punctuality is important?

• I am on time, unless in an emergency, only would I be late.
• You invite friends over for dinner and you eat at seven o'clock.
• Guests arrive half an hour later.

Would you start the process or wait on them?

It happened to me many times.

We invited a friend to our place for a barbecue.

He would arrive half an hour later the excuse is as follows:

''I had too much to cope with at home.''

The thing is, he knew in advance about coming to us, but he still cannot make that time, he can never be on time and thinks nothing of his rudeness.

I stopped inviting people who did not respect their time of the invitation. It is often about them.

· Punctuality is very important to a business deal and to your character.

• If you are going to be late for some reason at least telephone the other person. Let them know something came up.
• The constant behaviour can be frustrating, but then again, every individual is different.
• They think and do things their way and will not always be on time.

· Be prompt a habit you must stick to and develop from your early years in life.

It is not only about meeting with friends, what about paying debts on time?

When getting up in the morning, but this is not often the case.

Do not let others wait, they have somewhere to be and waiting on you will make them late for their appointments or chores.

· Do you only think of yourself and time and of others when getting to someplace on time?

• You choose to meet someone at a specific time, which means you have promised you would be there on time.
• If you do not arrive on time your promise has now been broken promise.
• Be the man of your word.
• If you show punctuality it shows you can be depended on, and you are reliable.
• An individual who fails to show punctuality is not dependable.
• It is not easy to find that person if ever needed at any other time.
• They are disorganized and have no agenda.
• Being careless about time makes them careless also about other aspects of life.
• A person who is always late is only good for excuses and nothing else.
• Punctuality increases your self-esteem and allows you to be more confident, and in this way, you can rely on or depend on yourself.
• You can have control of yourself and be more stable in daily chores.
• Punctuality makes one feel best and stress-free.
• Showing up late with a good reason is different from showing up with some lame excuse.
• That leads you to nowhere but back to the same spot.
• Arriving early makes me feel free from nervousness or anxiety.
• I have a chance to know how to go about my time spent for the rest of the evening or day.
• One of the valuable habits of all individuals is punctuality.
• Punctuality shows discipline in business deals and in the workplace, at meetings when meeting a friend, going on a date, and many other activities in your life.

Do not ignore punctuality in your lifestyle.

· How can you be dependable if you are self-employed or working for someone if you do not show punctuality?

• No company would employ someone who fails to show up on time for an interview.
• Most companies have strict policies and if you do not abide by their policies you are fired.
• Sometimes waiting is worth your while and being punctual shows humility.
• Most people would be more satisfied if you came earlier.
• Do not forget that punctuality shows respect for each other.
• What you do not realize in your selfishness in each moment is each minute taken for yourself is another minute taken from the other person.

· Is that necessary?

Making others wait is not a humble gesture.

You are stealing their time for yourself.

It is not right for you to make others wait for you.

The time lost could have been a successful task, but you failed to make it on time.

Time means money to some people.

Meet at the agreed hour do not be disrespectful to others. You must make sacrifices to be on time.

Maybe slightly change your daily routine and see how much of a difference that would make for you. Surely the other person would do the same for you.

It is about punctuality!

Showing up on time it shows you value this habit and yourself and the other person's time.

As you will not steal a few dollars from another person's wallet, in the same way, you should not steal the time of the other person.

Though time is money, time is of greater importance than money.

Note that time is never bought.

Make the most of the time you have not, of the time you lost. Students often turn up late in classes and this disrupts the lesson.

Arriving late during lessons is rude behaviour. The noisy door opens, and a student roughly tries to find a seat over the rest of the students. That is a disturbing moment for everyone in the room.

In church, the latecomers arrive and disturb the prayer. This happens when others are praying. There you are in the middle of it the prayer and breaking their moments.

· Does that make you feel good about yourself?

Relationships formed with other people are poorly developed if you are not on time.

· Others feel undervalued if you do not show up on time and what else could be more important than you being on time?

· Who wants to date someone who never shows up on time?

For example:

• Sitting alone and waiting in a restaurant is not a great feeling even at a bar.
• Your data is not going to contact you again.
• All children are picked up from school while your child waits alone and becomes sacred of waiting alone.
• Rather be fifteen minutes earlier than fifteen minutes late.
• Your services will not be required if you do not show punctuality.
• No punctuality can hurt your life in many ways.
• Missing appointments or dinner time with a friend is rude and not disrespectful.
• Meetings at the workplace should be on time.
• Paying bills should not be missed.
• Going to church on time.

Meeting your date should be taken seriously. Making time for your child and family time, such aspects of life are neglected if you do not show punctuality.

The neglect to pay your traffic ticket can cause you a strained life. Without punctuality, you do not feel so positive, or responsible.

In Eastern Europe, people do think not much of punctuality life is easy-going. I still cannot go with that kind of habit.

I prefer being on time to someone waiting for me. I am from another part of the world and know for sure that punctuality is very important to be that dependable someone in society.

People talk about those who are never on time and once this happens, you would not be contacted.
