Value Time: Be Punctual
The first step to professionalism is to be punctual. If you want to know the value of 0.01 seconds, ask PT Usha, the Olympian, who lost a medal for being that late. Each moment is valuable and make best use of it. There is no point in repenting later as the time is not going to come back to make amends.
One has to make continuous efforts to make punctuality a part of his / her value system and bio-rhythm. Once that happens, the bio-alarm often rings on time to remind you of important events and appointments. One should hate being late, to make it a habit to be punctual. A true professional is always appreciated for valuing his /her own time as well as others'.
As a student, try to be in the class room or lab before the teacher. As a Teacher, try to be in the class before the students. You cannot imagine the amount of mutual admiration, the students and Teacher have of each other if they are punctual.
For students, it is the right time to start preparing the body and mind to be on time for important events of life like going to class, examination, interview and later to the job. Being on time reduces a lot of anxiety, keeps the mind peaceful and helps in being more productive in the work that you do.
Unfortunately we are led by persons for whom others' time has no value. They often take pride in being late to meetings, gatherings and functions. They keep their guests, hosts and public waiting & cursing. If we were to calculate the man-hours lost in waiting and convert that to do productive works, we would be a far better nation.
Let us all start on time to finish before time.
