There are some characteristics that stand out in a
personality. Some traits define a man more than others. One of those critical
traits is punctuality. Especially in our country, where arriving late is seen
as a sign of high status, punctuality is a rare trait to find. For a student,
the importance of punctuality is all the more critical. A punctual person is
known to keep his word, which is a key characteristic of any successful person.
Some of the most significant impacts of punctuality can be listed as below "“
"·Efficiency
Punctuality is directly linked with efficiency. Completing a
task within the given time period is a sure shot method of reaching the top. Most
successful careers are built on efficiency of work. Many researches highlight that
if you linger on to a task for a longer period of time than usual, you will
find it much more complex than usual. So the choice is with you.
"·Respect
Punctual people are highly respected in the society. They
are seen as someone who values others' time as much as his own. This adds on to
your skill set and places you in the good books of everyone near you.
"·Success
If there is one trait that is common in most successful
people around the world, it has to be punctuality. If you don't respect time,
the time will never be on your side. The other side of this issue is that
whenever you fail to fulfill the given deadline, you invariably come up with
excuses for your deed. Such excuses are an insult to the wisdom of the other
person and downgrade you in their eyes. More importantly, by giving such
excuses frequently, you create a situation where your real emergencies would
also be treated as excuses and nothing more. A punctual person is seen as 'reliable'.
More responsible tasks are trusted upon the people who have showed punctuality
is their past tasks. Such high responsibilities create a path towards a
successful life ahead.
Though it is preferable to stay ahead of the schedule, if a
situation arises where you are late, you must ensure that rather than giving
excuses for not being on time, you should apologize and expressempathy towards
the people who had to alter their schedule due to you. The following apology
can be used in such cases "“
"I just wanted to let you know that I made by
best possible efforts to be here on time. I apologize for wasting your precious
time. I ensure that this will not happen again from my end."
If there is any other apology that has worked better for you,
