Mr. Lu Xun has a famous saying, which is still regarded as a classic:
"Life is in units of time, and wasting the time of others is tantamount to seeking wealth and killing people;
Wasting one's time is tantamount to chronic suicide. ”
Time is a scarce resource for every adult, punctuality, is a quality, is an ability, but also a way of life.
Time is silent, but it affects our lives behind the scenes, regulating our relationships with others and ourselves.
Time is not the answer to life, but the answer to life is hidden in time.
How we spend our time, we have what kind of life.
People who can keep their time can adjust the rhythm of life and live a balanced life.
Keep someone else's time
In the TV series "Meet Happiness", Zhen Kai, played by Jiang Xin, wanted to participate in the TV station interview, but unexpectedly there was a huge sandstorm that day.
The fierce wind rolled the grains of sand, hitting the face with pain, Zhen Kai was blown to the east and west, and used his leather bag to hold his head to get breakfast.
The aunt at the breakfast shop knew that she was going to interview later, so she asked worriedly:
"Such a big sandstorm is still going?" I'm afraid the interviewer will also hide at home. ”
Zhen Open said unmoved:
"There is no way, all agreed, people have to believe what they say."
When Zhen Kai arrived with a grim face, he found that the interviewer in the row of the interview hall was staring at her with shocked faces.
After confirming that she was not late, she asked the organizer for a glass of water to rinse her mouth, and after a brief adjustment of the status, she told the interviewers that she could start the interview.
The interviewer asked some technical questions briefly, and after determining Zhen's business ability, he quickly said to her: "You have been admitted." ”
It turned out that there were more than a dozen people scheduled to come to the interview that day, but because of the weather, no one else came, only Zhen Open came on time.
Leaders believe that this kind of punctual and hard-working people must not be bad at work.

When Typhoon Mangkhut made landfall in Hong Kong, he was holding an exhibition here, and the entire city's subway, buses, etc. were completely paralyzed.
But he remembered that he had an agreement with the customer, and the agreement was still set in Dalian, thousands of kilometers away.
In order to keep his promise, he walked in the typhoon for 5 hours on foot to ensure his own safety.
Finally, he crossed the Hong Kong port and flew from Shenzhen to his destination.
After the customer understood the situation, he signed the contract decisively, and then became a loyal partner because he trusted him.
Punctuality, although it is a small habit, but it is this small habit that makes others more comfortable with us.
Writer Born Tracy said in Eat That Frog:
"Your attitude toward time, the concept of time, has a significant impact on your behavior and choices."
Because there is an invisible balance behind the comfortable relationship, punctuality affects the balance of the balance.
On the one hand, others issue kind invitations, and on the other hand, you keep the covenant in a timely and good manner, which is indispensable.
"You vote for me with a wooden peach, I repay it with Qiong Yao", punctuality is a rule that people abide by each other.
To keep other people's time is to balance the state between two people, so as to keep the relationship between two people.
