The most rewarding thing I've obtained from the text is that we should urge on ourselves the significance of punctuality,which is to say never deter till tomorrow that which you can do today.I'd like to state my perspective that punctuality is not just about not being late, it's also about getting things done on time.My own opinions are as follows. First of all,I totally go along with the perception showed by the author that Asians live more in the ancient past or in the distant future. For instance,personally,If I have a pile of assignments to do,I’ll leave them till the last minute and then do them in a mad rush.That is to say,in order to meet the deadline ,there is no denying that a small group of us live by time-pressing schedules and deadlines and even promptness is valued highly in our life, ,which made us stessful and anxious.Therefore punctuality is of great importance for every one of us. Work today, for you don't know how much you may be hindered tomorrow.What's more,seize the present day and trust the tomorrow as little as possible.We should urge on ourselves the significance of punctuality to make ready ahead of time.
