Punctuality I think it's very important to be on time. it's a basic principle that shows your good manners. You'd agree it's pretty rude when you make someone to keep waiting and it gives a bad impression about you. Of course, when there is a good excuse for being late (traffic, for example) it's alright. It's easy for me to accept it and be waiting for some time. But if someone could not organize himself/herself to be on time, I'd feel a little annoyed. In my turn, I always try not to be late. A while ago I had a habit to be sometimes late, but several years ago I decided not to do it anymore and now I always come on time. Some people wear the watch to be on time, but I don't think it works. Nowadays everyone has a smartphone, so you can always know the time. People usually are late because the couldn't organise their activity to be on time. For example, a person knows that he might be late, but leave the home too late.
