Topic Reading-Vol.1569-7/28/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The nation that hates to be late
Do you always come to the meeting or class on time?
Swiss has been famous for high quality watches. Therefore, it isn’t surprising that punctuality is pretty much expected and practiced in the nation. For the Swiss, punctuality is expected to show respect to others and their time. For example, trains come and arrive on time, taxies get to the destination as said they would, and deliveries are made within the assigned time window, not to mention showing up the meeting on time with others. That sounds very convenient and efficient, doesn’t it?
But extreme punctuality could cause congestions because everyone does the same thing at the same time precisely, such as s coffee break or store opening. Also, it could be an unbearable pressure when you happen to be met by unexpected event such as a traffic jam or an accident.
Expecting others to do something also means being expected by others.
Enjoy reading and thinking if you feel more comfortable living in a place where people are strictly punctual.
