"Punctuality" is a long word.
It means doing things at the right time.
A punctual boy/girl is never late for school.
He/She has his/her homework done at the right time.
He/She does not keep his/her family waiting at meal-times.
Punctually is a habit.
We can get into the way of doing things at right time.
But it is not easy at first.
It is easier to dawdle and laze about.
It is so easy to put things off.
We say, "We will do it tomorrow, or next week".
So we get into the bad habit of being late for everything.
Once we get into this bad habit, it is hard to get out of it.
A good motto to keep before one is,
"Do i now!"
An unpunctual person is his/her own enemy.
And he/her is a nuisance to everyone else.
An unpunctual clerk soon loses his job.
A friend who always keeps you waiting may lose your friendship.
