The Importance of Being on Time (And Why You’re a Jerk If You’re Not)

Let’s cut the crap. If you’re one of those people who’s perpetually late to everything, you need to hear this: Your lack of punctuality is a giant middle finger to everyone around you.

I don’t care if you think you’re just “fashionably late” or if you’ve convinced yourself that your time is somehow more valuable than everyone else’s. The truth is, when you’re consistently tardy, you’re saying loud and clear that you don’t respect other people’s time or efforts.

The Most Effective Way To Engage With New People

Let me guess. You want me to give you some magic formula for charming the pants off of everyone you meet. You want a step-by-step guide for wooing strangers with your wit and leaving a trail of enamored new friends wherever you go.

Well, I hate to break it to you, but that’s not how it works. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to engaging with new people. Because spoiler alert: People are complex, unpredictable, and often pretty dang weird.

However, there is one method that I’ve found to be consistently effective. And it’s so mind-numbingly simple that you’ll probably want to punch me for even saying it. But here it goes:

What Was It Like To Go Through A Gas Attack In World War 1

Arthur Empey was an American living in New Jersey when war consumed Europe in 1914. Enraged by the sinking of the Lusitania and loss of the lives of American passengers, he expected to join an American army to combat the Germans. When America did not immediately declare war, Empey boarded a ship to England, enlisted in the British Army (a violation of our neutrality law, but no one seemd to mind) and was soon manning a trench on the front lines.

“I’m 35 and scared I will never get married and have kids”

I have never been in a relationship nor been physically intimate with anyone in my entire life.

I live in a very large city outside the US, but work as senior engineer for a reputable US-based multinational technology firm. I go outside every month. I go to a regular video games meetup and a regular community trash cleanup event, trying to talk to everyone and catch up with their lives and asking if they want to get dinner afterwards. I exercise after-work daily. I am attentive to hygeine and skincare, get my hair cut on a regular schedule, wear contacts lenses, wear clean clothes. I have created profiles on multiple dating apps, but at a fit 5’9” 140 lbs, I have never once received a like.

We Hate in Others What We Can’t Fix in Ourselves

introspection

When we feel a strong sense of dislike, annoyance, or even hatred towards someone else, it’s often because they embody a trait or behavior that we struggle with ourselves. This could be something we’re aware of and actively trying to change, or it could be a blind spot – a part of ourselves we haven’t fully acknowledged or confronted.

For example, let’s say you have a coworker who always seems to be seeking attention and praise. You find yourself getting irritated every time they speak up in meetings or boast about their accomplishments. But if you dig a little deeper, you might realize that you, too, crave recognition and validation – you just express it differently, or even suppress it.

Car Payments Will Keep You From Becoming Wealthy

So, you bought into the idea that the shiny new car in the driveway that’s supposed to make you feel successful and happy? Well, I’ve got news for you, amigo. That car payment you’re making every month? It’s keeping you stuck in the middle class and preventing you from building any real wealth.

Let’s face it, most folks can’t afford to pay cash for a car. So what do they do? They take out a loan, often at a pretty high interest rate, and then they’re stuck with years of monthly payments that eat away at their income like a parasite.
