“The Importance of Being Prompt”

“The Importance of Being Prompt”

Being prompt is very, very important. Being prompt means to be on time or punctual. Being prompt will show how of a responsible person you are or can be. show up on time. You will make a bad first impression if you arrive late to a job interview. You have to show that you are responsible and really want the job. If you arrive early to a job interview it will show how truly it matters to you to get the opportunity to have a job interview. It will also show that you are not just playing around and taking the job For example if you have a dentist appointment at 10:00 a.m. makes sure to arrive on time. Also for example if you are going to a job interview around 12:00 p.m. it is extremely important to seriously. Showing that you are willing to show up at a certain time that it assigned will show that you are a dependable person, who can be trusted. Being prompt will make you more organized. For example if you keep other people waiting because you said you were going to be somewhere at a specific place at a certain time and you are not there yet, they might get upset or mad that you aren’t there on time. Being late does not show respect for other people. Think about it, would you like being kept waiting by someone if you said you'd meet at a particular time? That's just rude, unless it is something that is beyond important. It sends the message that the person you are keeping waiting isn't worthy of your consideration that you have more important or interesting things to do, or just don't care enough to make an effort.

Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students part 7



Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students part 7
Everyone wants to be successful in life, but where are the keys to success?
Do we have to go out and search for those keys, or do we have those potentials within ourselves? When we begin to examine life, we can see that it I divided into two aspects – life within and life without; internal life and external life – and we can see that these aspects are of equal importance.

We still have to see that we eat, do our ablutions, and perform our practices on time. So life in the external world is as important as life in the internal world.
