But sadly, most of you never know the importance of punctuality. You think it does not matter if you are a wee bit late for your work.

“What is wrong in being late to work for just a few minutes?” You defend your late coming as if there was nothing wrong in it.

Are you still wondering why this drumming about the importance of puctuality?

Let us suppose that you must catch a flight which takes off at exactly 1.00 pm.

Will it be fine if you arrive at the airport at 1.30 pm?

You are just thirty minutes late, aren’t you?

But the flight does not wait for you. It has left without you. You have missed your plane by being late.

It is the same in your profession also. You will miss your success if you are persistently late for your work.

You hang your face in shame when your higher officials question your late coming before your colleagues, don’t you?

You could avoid this embarrasing situation by being on time to your work.

Why do you find struggle to be punctual to your workplace?

The grave mistake you continuously make is your lack of time management. Unless you are efficient in handling your precious time, you can never be punctual to your workplace.

Persistent lack of punctuality gives a bad and negative impression about you to the management.

You have many lame excuses up your sleeve for your lack of punctuality.

• You blame the traffic jam.
• You point out the late arrival of your transportation.
• You accuse the distance between your home and your work place.

These excuses will hold no ground as your management cannot be lenient to your personal problems. It needs professionalism for you.

And one of the top qualities about professional ethics is being on time to your work.

Why?

You don’t want this to happen to you, do you?
