punctuality

a manager of my company almost always arrives at the office at around 10am every day, one hour later than she is supposed to start working according to her employment contract.

what is punctuality? it is not only a behavioural term. it is also an attitude of life. you respect the appointment and therefore you are punctual. you respect the person and so you are punctual for a gathering. you respect yourself and you repect life --- so you try to be punctual for every job or appointment you choose to take. no one can force you to take any of the jobs or attend any of the gatherings. it is your own choice...

    From appledaily,

    【本報訊】多位會考狀元日前參加「台灣狀元之旅」,未知是否放暑假放得太久,短短數日行程中竟然經常遲到。直至第三日參觀國立台灣大學時,狀元又遲到,最終令導遊也忍不住發火,大罵他們不守時,令接待的台灣學生在操場暴曬苦等半小時。

    對導遊提問沒反應

    康泰旅行社贊助成績優異的應屆會考生遊台灣五日四夜。由行程第一日開始,導遊每日均千叮萬囑狀元們要準時,但每天當所有隨團記者及工作人員均已上車,狀元都是姍姍來遲,每次均遲十五至三十分鐘;每當導遊提問時,狀元均沒甚反應。

    導遊在首兩天已提醒「狀元」,主辦團體往往提早十多分鐘在地點守候,若遲到就要讓許多人在戶外暴曬苦候,直至第三日,狀元仍是遲到。導遊終忍不住說:「你地係香港既精英,點解唔守時,要人地係戶外曬半個鐘等你地,希望大家以後守時少少。」經勸說後,狀元們終在最後兩日行程中學懂守時。

    一個人浪費自己的時間青春沒有所謂,硬要浪費別人的時間心神是更嚴重的問題。

    人生在世,不是讀好書,賺到錢,在公司不用咩鑊就足夠,要別人尊重你,你必須先尊重人,這是最基本。即使那人對你不重要,也不代表不用尊重。

    希望年青一代不要再被報章雜誌找到這些渣滓…
