Time...


Time, something alot of people dont respect...

"People must learn to respect time"

 A saying my late dad used to use often but I never really understood it untill I started working and entered University. Its quite the same as due dates, whenever an assignment is late, one gets penalised and marks get dedcuted from your final marks just because you were late. Same applies with employment, once you're late for an interview the person conducting the interview will go to the next one and you might miss that oppurtunity. At work when you're a few minutes late, you might get disciplined because time is money and according to that company, you're playing with their money.When paying an account late, extra charges might get added, you get a penalty fee and maybe, just maybe you get a phonecall from credit advisors/debt collectors asking you why you did not stick to an arrangement and get charged for that call.

I get very annoyed when a person is late for an arrangement we made because in that time of waiting for that person, I could have done so many other things. What Im trying to make clear is that people need to respect time even amongst peers because what you practice daily becomes a habit and one day you'll miss something very important or that could have changed your life just because you were late and you wasted someone else's time and for most people, time is money.

So as we all hustle towards a brighter tomorrow, let us practice time keeping and respecting other people's time.
