Be Punctual Page 59
ON TIME!
ALWAYS TIMELY
I NEVER COULD HAVE DONE WHAT I HAVE DONE WITHOUT
THE HABITS OF PUNCTUALTY, ORDER, AND DILIGENCE
WITHOUT THE DETERMINATION TO CONCENTRATE
MYSELF ON “ONE” SUBJECT AT A TIME!
By Charles Dickens
LATE COMERS AND POCRASTYNATOTS HAVE TROUBLE NOT WITH TIME, BUT WITH SELF –DISCIPLINE.
Punctuality,
Man naturally loves delay, and to procrastinate; Business put off from day to day, is always done late. **Let ever hour be in its place, firm fixed, nor loosely shift, and well enjoy the vacant space, as though a birthday gift.**And when the hour arrives, be there, where that “there” may be; Uncleanly hands or ruffled hair let no one ever see.** If dinner at “half past” be placed , at “ half past” then be dressed. If at a “quarter past “make hast to be down with the rest. ** Better to be before you time, than are to be behind. To open the door while strikes the chime that shows a punctual mind.
ADOPTING (Learning)
My comment:
Punctual, is an item I never, better said most likely, I was not serious involved in, at any time. I look upon it, as a blessing that all my dealing with Punctual were along the line of positives and I have never suffered looking at Punctual as a negative. Never even thought being dragged down by a negative movement under any name, therefore not knowing very much when I came across what and where to find the right protection even from “Punctual”. The circumstance around the apparent protection from the abuse of utilizing the word Punctuality has bypassed me. Therefore, I did some research so I can come to you, and found a way telling what I learned about the meaning of Punctuality and will present it to you as best I can. You may be one them. A TEST follows below, will tells you!
Some Telltale Signs:
You are always rushing at the last minute; even though you have promised yourself countless times that, you would not let this happen again. You have tried setting your watch several minutes ahead, but you are, unbelievably, still late.
PUNCTUALITY. It's A must!
Punctuality is the easiest ay to prove that you are organized, respectful, and caring for other people. Being able to organize your own time, as said before is a key element for an efficient was of living. By not being Punctual, you show people that you have no respect and consideration for their own agenda, and that could be because of your tardiness, somewhere in the line of evaluating or other important issues. However, the first person who suffers from your shortcomings to make it on time is YOURSELF. The following text can, should or even will give you some ideas, to “support eventually ideas”, which one should or can have been “supported”, excused, or eliminated/Tardiness on any level. The below, rightly so, could, no should be classified as the most useful assistants and named accordingly:
My closing with assistance to the appropriated mind lifting to all of you:
BEING PUNCTUAL, RESPECT PEOPLE YOU SPEND TIME WITH AND
SHOW THAT YOU ARE A RESPECTABLE PERSON WITH A STRONG SYSTEM OF VALUES. IT MAKES PEOPLE ENJOY THE TIME YOU SPEND TOGETHER AND IN THE END, IT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT
YOURSELF!
Moral:
Let punctuality and care seize every flitting hour, so shalt thou cull a flowered fair, E’en from a fading flower.
Hoping there will be plenty requests, because this Page # 59 and its message can and will be and is a very important issue, in anybody’s life, even yours!
Note; Prior to closing this Page#59 I will tell you something which happened while I was finishing the closing comments on P#58. The closing subjects dealt with an issue very close to be controversial, if one not interprets the following as it was meant to be. The Beaver’s action and description were pictured, which I do not want or will change, because that what I felt and still do. Since I started this Page many unexpected happenings occurred which might, but
You may be punctual for work but you are usually at least twenty minutes late for meetings, appointments, class, church, or other non-work situation.
You make excuses such as: There was terrible traffic or something came up or I was calling but I did not want to be even later. You the people, become impatient or angry at your tardiness. You believe that you are more motivated when in a time crunch or that you move faster under pressure.
IF YOU CAN IDENTIFY WITH TWO OR MORE OF THE ABOVE, YOU
YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH PUNCTUALITY!
PS. Chronic lateness is not a psychiatric diagnosis. Nor is it a genetic condition, even though some people treat it as such. They say things like “That just the way I am. I do not like it, but it seems that I am incapable of being on time, ever!
They may also have underlying anxiety about the task there’re faced with.
“HINTS”
a) You risk missing important meeting with important people who will not give you the opportunity to get together again. Either in your professional life or you personal one, you feel the importance of that loss.
b) You make people uncomfortable by making them wait for. Even if you announce your being late, it still causes them to feel not so well, especially when you do it on regular basis.
c) You make yourself uncomfortable. On arriving after you are already late, you will have to excuse yourself repeatedly; this will cause an artificial element in your conversation.
d) People lose their trust in you. Once you announce your arrival at a certain hour and you do not get their in time, it is a promise you were not capable to keep. I other words and in other’s eyes, you are not a committed person.
Maybe you never felt the need to think about it to be on time, but now you have seen the importance of “being on time” you will be interested into the following tips that will help you to get even you more ,to be ON TIME.
e) At work set an alarm clock to remind you a half-hour prior to an important meeting,
f) Do not count on your friends feelings about you. They may like you but even if they your friends and you do not have to be very official with them, they are still human beings that deserve to respect in all ways.

should not, influence any prior or future Pages, including this Page#59. What happened was, an invasion of Squirrels invaded our lawn, close to the feeding place for the birds. Any attempt
not only to steal the bird’s feedings, but prevent their admission to their own housing which I tried to prevent, without or only little success. Arranged a separate feeding place for the Squirrels, without any improvement. At the end of the confrontation removed all and any special doings to please their hunger. Occasionally they come and feed, like before, visiting the birds feeding places, without doing any harm to themselves or to the birds. Like any other squarel, finally peace was established.
May God be with you, all the time with His blessing!
