Are you always running late to your next meeting?
你总是赶不上下一个会议？
Rushing (even running) from one appointment to the next?
匆忙的从一个地点奔赴另一个地点？
You say you aren’t going to be late again. Yet, you repeat the same behavior over and over.
你说你不会再迟到了，但你一次又一次的做了同样的事情。
Being late isn’t an excuse, it’s a choice you are making.
迟到不是理由，只是你的选择。
Here are some tips to help you avoid being late:
这里给出了一些避免迟到的方法：
Always Allow Extra Time – You will underestimate how long it takes to get there. Always allow more time that you think you need.
总要给自己多留时间---你没有算够到那里需要的时间。留出的时间总是要多过你认为需要的时间。
Avoid Back-to-Back Meetings – Back-to-back meetings are a recipe for lateness. When you schedule consecutive appointments, you are setting yourself up to be late to the engagement.
避免参加连续的会议---连着的会议就很容易让人迟到。在安排连续的会议的时候，你就是在让自己迟到。
Start Meetings on Time – Start meetings on time even if people are missing. Respect the time of those who did show up on time. As well, you set expectations for the next time.
准时开会---即使有人迟到了也要准时开会。尊重那些按时到达的人的时间。同样，你也给下一次的会议做出了表率。
End Meetings on Time No Matter What – You have probably been in the meeting that just won’t end. The time is up and the person speaking keeps going like it is a filibuster. Make sure you end the meeting on time… no matter what. Early is even better.
不管怎样也要按时结束会议----有可能会议还没有开完。时间到了，说话的人也不断的推三阻四。不管怎样一定要按时结束会议。提早更好。
Choose to Be On Time
准时
If you were late, you chose to be late. More importantly, you chose to not be on time.
如果你迟到了，是你选择迟到的。更重要的是，你选择了不准时。
Lateness is a choice. Punctuality is, as well.
懒惰是一种选择，严守时间也是一种选择。
Today, choose wisely. Choose to be on time.
现在，请明智的选择。选择准时。
