I have no regrets that we shifted to this semi rural town as it is ideal for retired people - no air pollution, no sound pollution, just chirping of birds and an occasional barking of dogs. Everything is available at stone...

NoneTheWriter @sammyy (527) • India 3 Feb 22

Yesterday I saw a meme somewhere that went something like this- "All my life I have been a certain way. And yet, I suddenly expect myself to wake up tomorrow and follow plans and become disciplined." That hit me hard. I'm a...

Latecomers

Jazon @holdoors (2535) • Malaysia 16 Aug 17

Many people do not take punctuality seriously. I had a new tryout for our gaming clan. We mentioned the time once and reminded him. However, he still turned up late without giving a valid reason. Small things like these do give us...

Punctuality is respecting someone's time.

emelsmarie @EMbakes (1142) • Philippines 12 Sep 16

In our country, there's what we call Filipino time. If we should meet up by 9 in the morning, people will surely arrive at 10 in the morning onwards. It's a bad habit/practise that people here are applying in their daily lives....

There's Something More To It For Your Being Consistently Late

Artemeis @artemeis (4189) • China 18 Feb 13

I'm time conscious and afraid to be reprimanded in coming late. But I don't know why oftentimes I came late in my appointments. Weird isn't it? How about you?
