Punctuality necessarily would mean doing things on time. But that does not suffice what punctuality stands for. For instance doing things on time requires discipline and method. If a person is not disciplined nor has a method of doing things then it might be challenging for them to be punctual. Punctuality is thus a collection of a lot of habits that make you aware of the necessity of doing things on time. The world today has a deadline for everything. Without a deadline it is impossible to finish jobs quickly and smoothly given that most of us usually like to procrastinate and let our work keep piling up. Punctuality not only makes someone disciplined and methodical but it helps to overcome challenges too. Those people who get the habit of being punctual turn out to do things quickly and save a lot of time. Having regard for time is also another important thing as far as punctuality is concerned. Having respect time for means respecting your own time as well as the time of others associated with you. Starting right from getting up from bed to arriving at school everything that one does in life requires them to respect their own time as well as the time of the people around. If someone gets up late it is normal that they will be late in doing things that follow up. In that case this person has no respect for his own time and neither does he respect the time of their associates. Not being punctual can prove to be very costly. If a student is not on time they might lose out on things initially and in the end have a truckload of work. If the attitude of not being punctual continues such students might lose out on more significant opportunities as adults. On the other hand being punctual can help a student create an excellent impression. Therefore to be punctual one needs to have respect for time. Punctuality is not something that occurs to someone quickly and naturally especially if that person is not in the habit of being punctual.
