How Much--a new look
A Story by Constance Payne
Often when we are late we do not realize how much we take from another
One minute
Sixty seconds
Is that so much to ask?
Yet ~
When you are always late by one minute you may end up stealing a lifetime from the people around you.
If you are always late and people are waiting for you to arrive so that they can begin then they become late as well. This reflects not only upon ability but upon respect for others.
But, one minute is not much you say, well let us look at it a different way.
If you are one minute late for work every day of the week you have stolen five minutes from your boss and co-workers. That five minutes over the course of a year will end up being 4 1/2 hours.
Work at your job for ten years and you are late by one minute each day that is 43 1/2 hours you have taken from your employer, your co-workers, your life.
How would you feel if you were your boss? Would you fire you?
If you are making people wait on you while you are late you are stealing time from their lives.
How much are you stealing?
