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.
