Punctuality means the habit of doing things in the right time. It means proper use of time. Our life is very short. It is the sum total of seconds, minutes and hours. But we have got many things to do. It teaches us to do everything on time because time waits for none. It teaches us not to put off things for tomorrow. It saves our time. It gives us ample time to do many things. It leads us to the peak of glory. It enables us to perform our duties in time and thus we can avoid anykind of troubles. It is at the root of any success. It is a great virtue. Its importance beggars description. So the habit of punctuality should be formed from our childhood.
