Punctuality is a disciplinary habit that teaches us the important value that action time has and in turn, it is a way to educate our daily activities using respect that implies fulfilling a commitment that we have assumed.
Punctuality has a very important value which must be taught from home and then in the education centers where we attend, they can reinforce the importance of being punctual in an appointment, studies, delivery of work or meetings with family and friends .
From an early age they taught me that when we are punctual, we have the virtue of respecting someone's time and of course, ours because it is incorrect to play with someone else's disposition. My dad taught me that arriving at the time, is being late but, arriving minutes before, it means that we are arriving on time; Because of this, I am always before the scheduled hour.
I have that criterion tattooed in my mind and thanks to that, I always arrive before the time; Particularity that has allowed me to receive comments of responsibility and as a good apprentice, I try that people who are around me learn that way of being punctual.
I have had the blessing of seeing that some people with the bad habit of unpunctuality have learned, a situation that excites me a lot because I am a believer that just as we learned something, knowing that another person does not have a good habit, we can teach you to have discipline.
With the passage of time, practice and of course, increased wisdom I learned that when we are punctual, we are giving it the value and importance that time has; Virtue that allows us to develop in a good way in all the social activities and relations we have.
Personally, I learned so much to be punctual that all the works that I commit to deliver, I do it a day before or failing, 5 hours before the limit time. I do not like to wait and of course, I do not wait because time is very sacred and wasting it waiting, it is a disrespect. If someone does not arrive at the scheduled time, with all the pain of my soul I go because I do not seem right to wait even 1 minute.
In case of a novelty that has happened and this prevents arriving on time, I do not expect the limit time to announce that I will be late; Notice from the moment it is happening and to avoid waiting, if it is possible to move the appointment, I prefer to do that because that way, I avoid playing with the sacred time of someone else.
I always remember that teachers told me 'punctuality' because there was no day that was late or stopped delivering my assignments. Subsequently at work, the same happens; They constantly tell me that I have the gift of punctuality and ask me to transmit it to people who are late because if the world was full of specific people, many irresponsibility problems would not exist.
Punctuality is not a matter of having this habit or not, it is simply to know how to organize ourselves to comply with the stipulated and, in turn, respect how sacred the passing of time implies. It is not difficult to be punctual, I think that to have this habit it is only necessary to want to respect and value the course of time; Because of this, I am a believer that if it is possible that we all be punctual, it is only a matter of wanting and having to achieve it.
I have no doubt that punctuality is a virtue that leads us to personal and social success. It is only a matter of giving value to time to understand that respecting actions is also a way of being punctual.
