Do you know anyone whom is always late? I have friends that always arrive at place much later than we agreed to meet. In one case, I started telling a friend to meet me half an hour before I expected him to arrive at. Some people think of being late as small problem. But being late can have seriously consequences. Being late can harm your relationships and it also communicate to people that you don’t respect them because you waste your time. People may wonder if they can trust you. If you don’t show around when you say you will, what do they know your promises are reliable? So it is really important for people not to being late.
