Happy weekend my beautiful people, a pleasure to greet you after several days of absence.
Selecting the option:
What does punctuality mean to you and how do you think people perceive and respond to it? Explain with examples. - Use your own photographs.
Dear family, from my humble family background the arrival to our responsibilities such as: work, family meetings, friends and love, are important in capital letters, literally in Venezuela we denote it this way, when it comes to an advance of any positive aspect of our lives.
Arriving before the hour predominates my walk, exactly 10 minutes and ultimately at the exact time, being crucial as it reflects responsibility in any phase of our existence.
On the other hand, being late goes hand in hand with the two sides of the coin, the first is due to external issues (the alarm did not go off being common, traffic, public transport, illness, among others) that get out of hand and the second side is due to people's habits, each head is a world, without forgetting that the economic motivation in the workplace does not highlight performance, therefore the easy thing reigns, with the phrase better late than never.
It is not that I support such a phrase, but most people give what they are given, which will be better in the future with the change that is coming economically, to be punctual to our needs.
Punctuality is a cultural thing and it is respected, for example, in the UK punctuality is such that you always arrive on time to any event, be it social, family, work, it cannot be before or after, it is one of the most defining features of that culture.
I remember a few years ago a cousin working abroad was summoned to a work meeting and for being punctual he arrived 5 minutes before the time, to which his boss called his attention to the fact that being there before the time (even if it was only 5 minutes) affected his agenda because he lost focus on his current activity and thanked him for being on time next time.
Hence my focus on it being something ingrained in the culture.
If we are punctual like our watch, we will go far in life.
There are times that don't come twice, so we must make the most of it.
I hope my little grain of sand has been of pleasure, a big hug to all.
I close my post with: punctuality this July 28th for all the countrymen who are both inside and outside our beautiful nation to go out and vote for the glow of new opportunities.
I used the deepl translator as my language is Spanish.
