The Influence Of Being On Time

Decent Essays
If you know me, you would know that I am always on time and I don't like being late. I will wake up 30 minutes early to be on time 30 minutes early, as anything can happen meanwhile. I am the one waiting for others instead of others waiting for me. So the worst habit for me about people are being late.
This feature of always being on time gave me my grandfather because the rest of my family kind of relaxed about it. When I used to go to school with my mother or especially with my father, I was, most of the time, late from my classes. However, with my grandfather, I was always on time.
The worst thing that I don't like is when people start finding excuses and in most cases they are always very creative. If you were to be invited to a presidential

    When people act obnoxious and disrespectful, I would just like to go up to them and say “I was at about six there. Don’t make me go to ten”, a quote said by Dale in Step Brothers. My pet peeves involve the disrespectful actions of high school students. It really irks me when people in band just don’t play their music correctly or march properly. If we have been practicing the same song for a short amount of time, then I understand if most don’t pick up the notes right away.…

    This assignment seemed just like any other. There was a deadline and guidelines and goals that were going to dictate the structure of it. I, however, didn’t know that I was wrong, and it was going to be far from any other. I have a habit, a detrimental one, that was slowly being fed and reassured as “ok” the more and more I went through my schooling. That habit has a name, procrastination, yet I never saw it as a problem because with every assignment and paper I wrote the night before and was able to get a decent grade, there was this unconscious signal that reassure me that if done once, it could be done again.…

    I find this spot on. "I want time to do my work neatly". I do not like to be rushed into finishing a project or assignment. If I know I have a deadline, I start working on it immediately to avoid turning it in late. For example, I see that we have an assignment for school due on Thursday.…

    Conception Of Time

    In William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury, each main character has a unique conception of time, which either binds or liberates them. Because the majority of the novel is written from a stream-of-consciousness perspective, each character’s worldview and sense of time is revealed. Each section relates a different conception of time and reveals how much freedom or bondage each character experiences as a result. However, in the novel, the present is only understood in terms of the past, as the past continuously invades the present. All but one of the characters appears to have a frenzied, meaningless present with no real future.…

    In fiction, the use of chronological order is one of the most common methods in creating a storyline. It maintains the order of “past, present, and future” that most readers would relate to in reality. What if the plot was rearranged into non-chronological order? While it is not used as frequently, the technique of a non-chronological story still has its benefits. In the analysis of two pieces of literature, Chronicle of a Death Foretold and Perfume, this paper will review the effects of a non-chronological plot.…

    Being on time, or punctual, has always been an important quality in American culture. People who tend to be on time are perceived to be more responsible and organized, whereas those who aren’t always on time tend to be perceived as the opposite. Personally, I agree with the text that describes being on time as being there about five minutes before the intended time of arrival. My mother taught me this tactic and I’ve seen the effects of people who aren’t on time, such as my brothers.…
