What Does It Feel Like To Wait For Someone Who Is Always Late?
Our world is associated with two kinds of individuals: those who are always late, and
those who show up on time. Of these categories, those who are always late are much jollier than
those waiting for them. We have been late to attend to either something or events that are
important or not important for more than once. However, in this write up, I would like to zero in
on the concerns individuals who always late convey. What kind of message are they passing to

they fill their time is much more valuable than theirs. No matter the individual's excuse, he is

Besides, such an individual is disrespectful. If other group members can give their time to
be with them, they should respect that and start to show up in meetings on time. It is even more
disrespectful if the individual fails to explain. Respect is much more about relationships with
other individuals. Disrespect is not considering others, their work, time, and feelings. Being late
we are late and always to remember that if we don't want to send the wrong message, we should
always show we value other peoples time as much as we value ours by being always on time.
Being late always means we care less about others, their time, and their love as well. We should
