1. Kant once wanted to visit a friend and made an appointment. He set out long in advance so as not to be late, but unfortunately he encountered a flood on the way and the bridge on the river was washed away.

The carriage, as Kant called it, could not cross the river, so he looked around for a boat. But after searching for a long time, he couldn't find it. Seeing that the appointment time was coming, he gave a nearby farmer a lot of money and demolished his house to build a boat to cross the river. That way he wasn't late and didn't tell anyone about his experience. Kant was a model of punctuality.

Unexpectedly, there was a traffic jam on the way to Peking University, and I ended up being an hour late.

From then on, Lu Xun was never late for school, and he was always early and early in everything. He worked hard all his life.

6. The concept of time reflects a person’s work attitude and life attitude. Liu Chuanzhi is well-known in the industry for his "self-discipline". He "inspires others" by "managing himself". Trustworthiness is first reflected in his punctuality. Liu Chuanzhi's performance in punctuality is amazing. In countless meetings of various sizes over the past 20 years, he was probably late no more than five times.

Once he went to Renmin University of China to give a speech. In order not to be late, he arrived half an hour early and sat in the car waiting outside the venue. He got out of the car 10 minutes before the meeting and arrived at the venue. Not bad at all. In the first half of 2007, Wenzhou business circles invited Liu Chuanzhi to "exchange". At that time, heavy rain hit Wenzhou, and Liu Chuanzhi's plane made an emergency landing in Shanghai.

The staff suggested taking a flight to Wenzhou the next morning, but Liu Chuanzhi disagreed. He was worried that the plane would be delayed again the next day and he would not be able to attend the meeting on time, so he asked someone to find an "official car" and drove all night, and finally arrived on the third day. We arrived in Wenzhou around six o'clock the next morning. When Liu Chuanzhi appeared at the meeting with red eyes, the well-known entrepreneur in Wenzhou was so excited that his eyes filled with tears.
