Almost everyone in the working world will tell you that being on time is an essential skill. In showbiz, they say, "If you're early, you're on time. If you're on time, you're late. If you're late, you're dead." A bit harsh, but it's the maxim of most employers across the globe. In fact, some would say that showing up on time and willing to work is 99% of the job. This also applies to life outside of work. Sure, you're allowed to be running late every now and then, but if you develop a reputation as a "late person" then you might miss out on opportunities. Your prompt friends will stop inviting you to time-sensitive activities like vacations or theatre.
