Punctuality

be on time. educated people know to be on time..if you are late you ruin your own image and look like a dolt..no excuses for the day is burning with sunlight..

yes intellegent people are always puntual..saying that I married a Filipino and have lived in the Philippines and also i have lived in Japan..and know that in the Philippines their is real time and Philippine time..if you have a 12 noon appointment and your guest arrive at 1 or even 2 hours late..the Filipinos that they are on time..as this is Philippine time. Once in the USA I had a dinner party and served food at noon..and when the Philippine quest arrive..they were surprised we ate already as they were only an hour late..duh? they even had the gall to tell me they sopped at Burger King to eat as they were so hungry that they did not know when we were going to eat..but the invitation was stated noon..sharp..so they said they would take some food home with them..i said this is still a party going on and it would not be right to "take food home" as people are still eating ..so there is a difference i culture.. i have been to Manila and know of the traffic..so i leave ahead of time to compensate for th delays that i know will happen..in Chicago, New York, LA or evn our Capitol there must be allowances for conditions of weather and traffic.. but most educated people arrive ON TIME...thank you for the great post..my wife has gotten a lot better as she lost job working for a Japanees Auto Company as she was late too much and missed worked due to silly reason..Work is work..time is money..the world does not revolve arouond you.

I HATE lateness! I would rather be 10 hours early than 1 minute late! I am a very prompt person!

i am very punctual
