LATE IS LATE

This will be a player passout for our team this week (life lesson):

A "couple of minutes" late is...late.
Five minutes late is...late.
One-point-three minutes late is...late
Late is late.
"Better late than never?"
Never.
Period.

Early is not late.
Early is respect.
Early = "I care"
(It matters).

Arriving early for a meeting is not a sign that you are "anxious." It is a sign that you are...PUNCTUAL.

Late is rude.
