Just A Thought ~ THE HABIT OF BEING LATE

"The trouble with being punctual is that people might think you have nothing more important to do."

This seems to be the case with great numbers of people. Or can there be another reason for people habitually turning up late? ~ and we all know people who do. Whether it is true or not, I can’t say, but I once heard that some people deliberately come late in order to show their importance and to get a kick out of making others wait. This is very rude if it is so, and an extra reason for them to make an effort to be punctual. The Golden Rule is applicable here: Do not do to others what you do not like others to do to you. We do not like others to keep us waiting, and so we should consider how others feel if we keep them waiting. It's a matter of common courtesy, and is quite simple; all we have to do is think!
