Be Punctual !

ONE of the great truths of psychology is that thoughts tend to become actions.

If a person persists in thinking he is ill, he will most certainly become ill, although really there is nothing whatever the matter with him.

The extent to which the mind can rule the body is almost without limit.

Thought developed along the right lines can even cure you of such a bad habit as unpunctuality.

If you one of those people who find they simply cannot get to work in time, just sit down and think about it.

You will quickly realize that you are unpunctual because you have not got a clear sense of duty.

You see no reason for being punctual.

Really you have a double duty – to your own self-respect and to your employer.

Once you have set your mind towards the goal of duty the battle is half won.

Unpunctuality is largely due to a policy of drift.

A sense of duty means having a purpose in view. In this case it means being fair to your employer and to yourself.

Get your purpose clearly fixed, and before you know it you will be making the little details of your life fit into the scheme.

You will be making a point of getting up half an hour earlier, of starting a few minutes earlier for your bus or train.

You will begin to organize your life. You will cease to be a drifter.

Lack of organization is the cause of unpunctuality. The man who cannot be bothered to organize his life has an untidy mind.

The result is he leads an untidy life.

He is respected by no one – not even by himself
