[One might wonder whether punctuality is really all that important… 1.Being on time shows that you are responsible, trustworthy and can follow directions.
2.More than that, it shows that you have personal integrity and self-discipline

While many of us are occasionally late due to circumstances beyond our control, habitual tardiness connotes a lack of respect for other people and their time. Time is a precious gem that can not be wasted at any cost." is a very special resource in that you cannot store it or save it for later.
If you don't use your time wisely, you can never get it back.

The measure of any society's development and progress does not lie in the wealth of which it disposes or the natural resources that it harbours but in the value system to which its citizens subscribe. The most important of these values are a respect for time and v as citizens of tomorrow
should inculcate it to enrich our society.
As Charles Simmons so aptly wrote, "Promptitude is not only a duty, but is also a part of good manners; it is favorable to fortune, reputation, influence, and usefulness; a little attention and energy will form the habit, so as to make it easy and delightful

Lack of punctuality is a theft of someone else's time,
a lack of respect for others

Be punctual in everything you do.
