Punctuality Bf le Sioatn

One ol the decdliest sins c sclesmcn cqn be guilty ol is lcck oI punctuclity.

It's q fine thing to be crble to scry crbout c mcn: 'IIe said he would do so' crnd-so cnd you mcy crbsolutely depend on him." Unrelicrbility is mighty closely ckin to dishonesty, crnd the more unreliable people I meet in this world, the more I despise thct lcdling.

Being punctucrl is being relitrble. Also, vice versc. The mcn who is NOT punctucl, who does NOT keep his appointrnents on time, or is slovenly or ccrreless in the tilling ol his engcrgements, slecrls the other lellow's time, crnd therelore is guilty oI thcrt unrelicbility thcrt is qkin to dishonesty.

A mcn's thinking mcy usuclly be iudged by his crctions. And the mon who evidences his indifference to the rights ol others evidently hcrs something wrong with his thinking mcchinery. Time is money with business people. Who steqls the other lellow's time, does not, cs Shakespecrre scrid-stecl trcsh -but steals his vcrlucbles.

Ol course the crvercrge lcrte comer does noi look crt it thcrt wcy. The chcrnces cre he would not deliberately do the other lellow an ill turn, or stecrl his valuables. But his bcd habit condemns him.

Puncttrclity brings its own rewqrd. It elimincrtes the necessity lor excuses. He who hcs leqrned the lesson oI exqct cmd dependcrble punciucrlity, hcs Iound cr pot oI gold ct the end oI the rcrinbow. The lellow who is clwcrl's on time, or iust c little checd oI time, is very likely to be present when the good things of the world trre pcssed cround, card therelore profit directly lor his promptness.

A m<rn who brecrlcs qn engcgement, breqks his word. And the lellow who thinks such things crre unimportcrnt needs his mental equipment slightly crdiusted. To be thoroughly qnd sincerely honest, must include relicrbility, dependcrbility, cnd punctuclity.

Every crmbitious humqn should tcke cr sell'inventory crt lecrst once c month. Let's look ourselves over todcy cnd put the mecrsuring stick oI punctucrlity on our habits, II they qre loose, this is c good time to do some tightening.

And then" ol course, there were the two sclesmen who were engclged in dividing c territory they were prepcring to work. "Wait q minute" said one oI them. "You're tcrking crll the crecun." "Well," said the other sqlesmcrn, "Whct's wrong with crecm?"
