Being on time


          When I read the subject "being on time", I directly thought of the opposite, that is to say the delay.  First of all, I have to say, that I hate the delay. As far back as I can remember, even when I was a child, I already hated people or things which arrived with delay. I see three explications for this. 

The first is that, myself, I really like being on time and I’m always on time. Often, I’m even in advance. Then, when it's the other people who are late, I feel like I'm wasting my time. For example, I have a friend who is always late and when we fixed a schedule to do an activities or for see us, and that she’s late of twenty or thirty minutes, I say me that these precious minutes together are lost forever. Moreover, I believe that if she really wanted to share time and enjoy with me, she would have organize herself to be on time.

The second reason I hate being late is because for me, if there is a schedule, it's for a good reason. If it didn't matter, we wouldn't have set schedules and we'd do what we want and when we want. A fixed schedule is the result of an entire organization and it is important to respect it. Another example, if a doctor give you an appointment at a fixed hour, it’s because after he will have other appointments with other patients. Therefore, if you are late and you overtake on the next appointment, it means that an other sick personn should wait to be cured, because you are late and you don’t respect the fixed schedule.

Finally, I suppose that if others can keep to a schedule, there is no reason why you can't. I believe that if we organize ourselves and take account of all the factors that will be affected by our delay, then there is no reason why we should be late. These are the three reasons why I deeply hate those who are often or always late.
