Hello, Time is more precious than money, which I hope all of us will agree. But the question, do we treat Time as good as Money ? Do we give the proper respect to Time / Are you time Conscious ? Do you keep up your schedules on Time or you are usually late ? I should say, rather, I would agree that most of the time, I go late for all my schedule, which I am trying to correct now. What about you ?

I am very time conscious because I don't like to be kept waiting - likewise I respect other people's time and don't keep them waiting.

senthil2k, every genetic code has a time element ingrained onto it-that is why your rooster crows at exactly 5 am in the morning and migratory birds fly away at the onset of winter to warmer zones for nesting! The other species are conscious and willing to obey the time factor-yet you will find that the creature with the most developed brain, man, knows all the values of time and is critically time conscious but never obeys the forces of time-I am not alone in this, I rarely keep time, but many more folks here in Africa tend to be the worst observers of time-they get late to a schedule and blame "African time" for their callous time keeping-African time here means, reporting about 1-2 hours late for a schedule! So to answer you directly, yes, I am time conscious but I rarely keep time!

I am also a late comer type of person. Since from my elementary years until now that I am working I am still fighting for time. I think it is actually my habit to be late. But I am still hoping that I can change this because this is not good. Now, that I am working and there is a penalty for many lates in our company so I really tried my best not to be late. Time is money because if we have lates it is deducted from our salary. Well, just this few months I don't have a late because I live near our office. But I arrived at my office around 3 minutes before time. I am still hoping to be earlier than usual so that I will get used to it.

Yes I am. I make daily schedules of what I will be doing for the following hours and I feel a lot disappointed if I failed to do one of this things or will not be able to follow my scheduled task. I want to serve my family the best way I could so I have to do things in orderly manner. In that way, I can give the best of my time for them and for myself. I do it that way.

I once heard someone on a early morning christian show say "The only thing God gives us is time, and you trade that time for whatever else you want."

Hi senthil2k! I value time but I guess not how much I do value money. However, I always keep up with my schedule, I don't like being late nor I don't like missing deadlines. I am always ahead of schedule with everything I do. I guess, it is because I do not like worrying. And I hope when the time comes that we get to meet, you won't be late.(LOL!) just kidding...Take care and have a nice day!
