To be punctual means to do what you should do on time.A punctual person always cherishes his own time and seldom complains,a person who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or colleagues. Therefore punctuality is of great importance for every one of us.That is why people say, "Punctuality is the soul of business." Are you a punctual person?yes,i'm.

I really do my best to be punctual. I don't think that it's very polite or respectful to not be punctual, which is why I prefer to be punctual. I much prefer to arrive an appointment, a class, or a meeting early.

I'm usually early. I can not stand people who keep you waiting. Sure there can be some understandable circumstances but I find this is usually not the case.

I'm punctual, and I always have been. To me, it's rude to promise to be somewhere and not show up on time. I consider it less than thoughtful of anothers time & feelings. I've never heard of that phrase you mentioned, but it does make perfect sense. The only excuse for not being punctual is if an emergency came up and you couldn't possibly get there on time...and even then, a phone call to let a person know would certainly be in order.

I am very punctual when I have to attend important business matters which require me to come on time. But, when it is for myself. I rather own my time and do not come ahead of the scheduled time. I often come late when their is a traffic and when I am tired from sickness. I often wake up late and sometimes because of hurrying, even forget my breakfast. But, when the meeting require punctuality, I often come 15 minutes ahead of the scheduled time. Sometimes if the places of the venue is far I depart from my home at least one hours ahead of my arrival time. especially when going to the airport. I wake up early for the scheduled appointment and alloted more than three hours. This assure me that I will never be late.

I try to do my best to be punctual but as life has progressed and I was married and then had children, these factors really mess with punctuality. Punctuality is good if it is not made into a law and the whole day is ruined over it. There is always balance in life. My grandfather was late one time. His train was late for the Titanic and he missed his boat. Sometimes being late isn't all too bad. If you have a job it is good to be on time all the time. If lateness is chronic for a job, something is very wrong.
