Being On Time

The number one ethic I realised in my classroom today was being on time. Being on time is very important (not only when you are in a team) because it is often a first impression for yourself; it shows how punctual you are and how much you truly care. Nobody likes to be in a meeting and having to wait an extra fifteen minutes for the late comer, right? I know I don't! On the other hand, some cultures are more lenient and forgiving with their time. Cultural expectations matter and different cultures have different opinions. Some think that it is acceptable to be late, while others think it is extremely rude to be late. In fact, Chile believes that it is impolite to be on time. Can you believe that?
