Punctuality
One of the deadliest sins a salesman can commit is lack of punctuality. It's high praise when you can say of a man: "IIe said he would do thus-and-so and you can depend on him." Ifnreliability is closely akin to dishonesty.
Punctuality is reliability. Also, vice versa. The man who is NOT punctual, who does not keep his appointments on time, or is slovenly or careless in the keeping of his engagements, steals the other fellow's time.
A man's thinking can usually be judged by his actions. Time is mone5, with business people. Who steals the other fellbw's time does not, as Shakespeare says-steal trash-but steals his valuables.
The average late comer does not look at it that way. He would not deliberately do the other fellow an ill turn, or steal his valuables. But his bad habit condemns him.
Punctuality brings its own reward. It eliminates the necessity for excuses. He who has learned the lesson of exact and dependable punctuality, has found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The Iellow who ir dwaF on time, or just a little ahead of time, is likely to be prescat when the good things of the world are passed around-
A man who breaks an engagcmcnt, breab his word; an4 ii tre thinks such things unimportant, he needs bis mental equipment adjusted. Sincere honesty includes rcliability, dependabilig, and punctudity.
Would you learn a great lesson in punctuality, shrdy George Washington. He was histor5/s lnttst Prmctual Eran. When he said he would meet tte Congress at a certain hour, he was there and ready not one minute aftcr thc time named. And he demandcd punctudity in dl otbcn' even honored guests. When he invitcd guests to dine with him, he seated himself at the table at that time whcther or not the guests had arrived. And if they came hte, he said to tiem'courteously: "My cook ncvcr asks whetber the guests have arrived, but whcther the bour has."
