Punctuality is a very good habit to have Unfortunately a lot of people don't take it too seriously Personally if i were to speak for myself.. ..When i have to meet someone or be somewhere at a given time I always try and be there at least 15 to 30 minutes early I always like to have that extra cushion of time in my hands I don't mind waiting But i hate to keep someone else waiting I always say this.. 'It's better to reach early and wait..rather than reach late and suffer the consequences...if you don't value time..time will never value you.'
