Punctuality


"Time and Tide wait for none." 

Time is money and a precious treasure. It does not wait for anyone. A person who is punctual understands with the importance of time. Time should always be taken by the forelock. Punctuality has the ability to tame time. Punctuality means to act in time. It is a habit that leads one to the path of glory, name, and fame. We find that the sunrise every day and sets day and night occur, seasons change. There is a regular periodic change taking place in the scheme of things.

Nature is very much punctual in its phenomenon. Punctuality is an essential aspect in our life. No office, no school, or college can run properly without punctuality. It is the backbone of administration. The English people are known their habit of punctuality. They never waste time. It is due to this factor that they could rule a vast empire in the world. No nation can be great without this habit.

The modern age is the age of calculators and computers. Every important thing is governed by the running figures of computers and electronic clocks. If the man sitting on the sensitive computers which control the atomic reactors is not punctual, the doom may fall, the nation may perish and the civilization may be ruined. So punctuality becomes the need of the hours.

Punctuality is of great importance in life. It saves valuable time. It saves us from disappointment. If we have given an appointment to somebody we must keep it. An appointment should not become a disappointment. If we are to catch a train we should reach the station in time. The lives of great men remind us that they were observing a time schedule. They never wasted time. They converted every opportunity into success. 

What we see today is the dismal picture which makes us think seriously. Punctuality has become a thing of the past. Punctuality is not observed in offices, schools, colleges, and public life. Trains, buses, and aeroplanes run late. The sessions of schools and colleges are not on time.

Everything is out of the door. Punctuality is an indispensable virtue. A punctual person is always respected. Let us take a solemn pledge to be punctual. Only then we can achieve our goal in life and can save ourselves from disappointment and despair.
