Punctuality is a necessary habit in all public affairs of a civilized society. Without it nothing could ever
be brought to a conclusion; everything would be in a state of chaos. Only in a sparsely populated rural
community it is possible to disregard it. In ordinary living there can be some tolerance of unpunctuality.
The intellectual, who is working on some abstruse problem, has everything coordinated and organised
for the matter in hand. He is therefore forgiven if late for the dinner party. But people are often
reproached for unpunctuality when their only fault is cutting things fine. It is hard for energetic, quick-
minded people to waste time, so they are often tempted to finish a job before setting out to keep an
appointment. If no accidents occur on the way, like punctured tyres , diversion of traffic, sudden
descent of fog, they will be on time. They are often more industrious useful citizens than those who are
never late. The over-punctual can as much be a trial to others as the unpunctual. The guest who
arrives half an hour too soon is the greatest nuisance. Some friends of my family had this irritating
habit. The only thing to do was to ask them to come half an hour later than the other guests. Then they
arrived just when we wanted them.
