Punctuality, according to mydictionary.com, is the quality or habit of adhering to an appointed time. People nowadays just lack of this quality. They are getting later and later. I used to wait for few mins. Slowly this few mins became half an hour and now, sometimes I'm just waiting for more than an hour.
I dont like to wait. It's just like I am wasting and waiting my life away. Say if I can live till 75 (being a bit optimistic here), I will be sleeping for 25 years(8hours of sleep everyday), working for at least another 25 , so out of the remaining 25years, how many will be dedicated to wait? I have enough waits gathered from queues and such. I just dont need more.
I am very frustrated about waiting. So frustrated that I started asking myself, should I just be like them and start being late myself? But the answer to myself, I WONT. Being very late is just against my principle. Waiting for others doesnt mean I have to let them wait. If I do, this cycle of waiting will just be endless. So, it's down to changing. Everyone, please try to change the concept of being late. If you know you cannot make it at that time, dont (DONT!!!) blardy fix at that time. Take the initiative of preparing early and getting out of house early. And finally, if u are late, kindly tell others you are late and not let the other party wait and wait and wait. A simple sms saying you will be late and a rough gauge of your arrival time is just enough. You are just accumulating bad karma to make others wait, you know?
Auntie, Hor, Ruru and many many others, it's time to change. Remember, puncutality is a virtue. I love you guys and dont really mind waiting. But for so long? Your mind can be at ease meh? Haha ;p
