Model17 Punctuality
A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.
An unpunctual man，on the other hand，never does what he has to do at the proper time. The unpunctual man is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters，or return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of lack of it. He knows that he can not get through his immense amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every appointment promptly and deals with every piece of work when it has to be attended to.
Failure to be punctual in keeping one’s appointment is a sign of disrespect towards others. Unpunctuality，moreover，is very harmful when it comes to doing one s duty. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow men. And the up punctual man is a source of annoyance both to others and to him-self.
