In the 1980s, my two friends – #Shahrukh & #Shahveer – and I
decided we’ll be on time for every party.
Guess what happened … we were the only three there at the appointed time! What a riot … even the hosts weren’t around.
On average, we only have 657,000 hours in our lifetime – so why WHY NOT MANAGE TIME BETTER!?
Amongst my many idiosyncrasies, I hate being late and I hate waiting
for latecomers - I get irritated; it vexes me (I
love that term 😊); and it truly gets under my skin.
A close relative has an uncanny ability of turning up at a party
just when the food is coming out or a minute earlier. There has NEVER been a time when he has to
wait for the food 😊.
Another close relative just cannot be at an appointment on time – even
for his departing flight! The one time I
decided to trick him into going earlier by saying the flight was leaving 30
minutes earlier, was the only time he got to the airport on time … and the
flight was delayed! IRONY!!!
So what can one do-
1)
Try putting your watch forward 15
minutes? However, your internal clock
will smarten up almost immediately and you’ll know you have the additional 15
minutes available- and you’re back to square one;
2)
You can have your partner nag the hell
out of you to get out in time;
3)
Your secretary can keep calling to
pester you to go on time:
… OR, you can realize you only had 657,000 hours available (on
average) in your lifetime - before the reaper comes calling – so make the most
of it and DON’T BE LATE!
