On Punctuality
Philip is a punctual person who works in logistics industry for decades mainly on containers leasing business. He is in the habit of doing everything at proper time and is never late in keeping a container booking.
In his point of view, the unpunctual man, on the other hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time and his good name. “In logistic industry, if you’re unpunctual, you might lose not only you time but other’s, you might lose not only your money but other’s.” he said, “ Time flies never to be recalled, a lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things. “
His words inspired me with assurance approve, sometimes I’d complain that I have no time to answer letters, or to return calls, or to keep appointment promptly. That’s the reasonable reflection that I kept frustration in career.
I was learned a valuable lesson from few of Philip’s words. Since then, I never late for an appointment, an email replying or calls returning. “Be Punctual” became my motto, and it gains me to be a successful and faithful business woman
As my concluding: unpunctuality is very harmful when it comes to doing one’s duty, whether private or public. Imagine how it would be if those who are entrusted with important tasks failed to be at their proper place at the appointed time. His friends or fellow men never trust a man who is known to be habitually unpunctual. And the unpunctual man is a source of annoyance both to others and to himself.
