Therefore, punctuality can make us socially acceptable people. Another significant merit of punctuality is that it provides ample time to do our work correctly and properly. Doing things hurriedly or haphazardly can have disastrous consequences. When we do things in time there is every chance that they end up as fine works. The venture of punctuality is said to be the key to success. Look at the great world leaders who have achieved fame and success; punctuality was their hallmark.
