Punctuality refers to completing tasks or obligations by a previously designated time. It is an important characteristic for success as students, businessmen, and others must observe punctuality. Examining the lives of great men shows they had daily schedules and were punctual, like Mahatma Gandhi who rose early and kept appointments to the minute. To improve punctuality, one should accept any issues, prepare to be on time, wake immediately to alarms, use reliable transportation, and go to bed on time. Punctuality is key to success in life.
