The German philosopher Immanuel Kant was a very punctual man. He believes that punctuality is a virtue for both old friends and strangers, representing politeness and credibility.
In 1779 he wanted to visit one of his old friends, Mr. William, in a small town named Pouffin. So he wrote to William that he would be there by 11 o'clock in the morning on March 5. William wrote back with a warm welcome.
Kant arrived in the small town of Pouffen on March 4, and in order to reach Mr. William at the appointed time, he hired a carriage and rushed to Mr. William's house early the next morning. Mr. William lives on a farm more than a dozen miles from the town. And between the town and the farm, there is a river.
Kant needed to cross the bridge. But when the carriage came to the river, the coachman stopped and said to Kant in the carriage, "I'm sorry, sir, we can't cross the river, the bridge is broken, and it's dangerous to go any further."
Kant had no choice but to get out of the carriage and look at the bridge that had broken in the middle, and he knew that he really couldn't go. It was early spring, and although the river was not wide, it was deep. Kant looked at the time, it was already past 10 o'clock, and he anxiously asked, "Are there any other bridges nearby?" ”
Kant asked, "If we pass over that bridge, how long will it take to reach the farm at the usual speed?" "It's going to take 40 minutes at the earliest.
So, he ran to a dilapidated farmhouse nearby and said to his master, "Will you want this house?" When the peasant woman heard him, she was astonished and said:
My house is dilapidated and old, and the location is not good, why did you buy this house? "You don't care what use I am, just tell me if you're willing to sell?" "Of course I do, 200 francs will do.
Without hesitation, Mr. Kant paid the money and said to the peasant woman: "If you can remove some wood from the house and repair the bridge in 20 minutes, I will give you back the house." The peasant woman was surprised again, but called her son and repaired the bridge in time.
The carriage finally crossed the bridge safely. At 10:50 a.m., Kant arrived at the door of his old friend William's room on time. The old friend who had been waiting at the door saw Kant and laughed and said, "My dear friend, you are still as punctual as before." ”
Kant had a happy time with his old friend, but he didn't mention anything about the process of buying the house and removing the wood to build the bridge in order to cross the bridge on time. Later, Mr. William learned of this from the peasant woman, and he wrote to Kant that an appointment between old friends should not be so painstaking, and that even if it was a little late, it would be forgivable, let alone an accident.
But Kant insisted that punctuality was a must, whether for old friends or strangers.
Punctuality is a virtue. People who know how to cherish time should not only be careful not to waste their own time, but also to always be careful not to waste other people's time. Managing your time well is about making it easy for you to do whatever you do.
A punctual person will surely gain the respect of others.

Thank you for inviting two of my friends who are not punctual early, so every time I make an appointment, I will tell them the appointment time half an hour in advance, and the effect is good.

I don't have a colored vision, just on this issue I really don't think that the current Chinese people have a good tradition of punctuality...

It depends on what reason he is not punctual, if there is something important, it is not strange, if he is a person who is often unpunctual, then he must be a sloppy person, he is not good at doing things, it is better not to entrust him with something, it will make it difficult for you to imagine the consequences, (character, lazy).
-
If you ask that, I guess he often does.
I think maybe things don't matter, so so. If he gets a good job offer and someone asks him to go for an interview, you see if he will be punctual. If it will, then I don't have much to say, then this person will not be promising.

Once upon a time, there was a sheep herding baby who went to the mountains every day to herd sheep.
Cry wolf! Help me! When the peasants heard the shouting, they hurried up the hill with their hoes and sickles, shouting as they ran
Don't be afraid, kid, we're here to help! ”
The next day, the old trick of the sheep herding baby was repeated, and the kind farmers rushed up to help him fight the wolf, but there was still no sign of the wolf.
The sheep herding baby laughed so hard that she couldn't stand up straight: "Haha! You've been fooled again! Ha ha! ”
Everyone was very angry at the sheep herding baby's repeated lies, and never believed him again.
After a few days, the wolf really came and broke into the flock at once. The sheep herder was terrified, and desperately shouted to the farmers: "The wolf is coming!" Cry wolf! Help! The wolf is really coming! ”
When the peasants heard his cry and thought he was lying again, they ignored him and no one came to his aid, and many of the sheep were killed by wolves.
