BEING ahead of time may lose you a minute; but being behind time may spoil your whole day. You can't catch up with the time that has passed. Being late is foolhardy, unbusinesslike, disastrous, and dishonest. If you are expected at a certain time, or have agreed to be somewhere at an hour specified, you are dishonest to yourself and to the other person if you don't arrive on time.

Because you are expected, preparations are made for your arrival, and delay injures both you and the one to be seen. Promptness is a commodity, negotiable in every market — while tardiness stands for failure, and is a forerunner of disaster.

The behind-time woman or man can't be depended upon. "Being there" gives opportunity for "getting there." Better to be ahead of time, even at great inconvenience, than to be a minute late.
