Why am I always late...

Today an incident forced me to write upon this. Before i write anything else i must share the incident with you people..

While going to office via Bus, on one of the stop an old man of age 70+ (whom further i will refer as Uncle) just stepped in and stood near by my seat.
After sometime seeking that he is not getting seat I thought of giving him mine or wait for some time he will get one as somebody will surely leave the seat at next stop , and in such delimma 4 stops got crossed and he didn't get any seat. Finally after pouring so much thought and wasting so much time , finally i stood up and reached to Uncle and said please have a seat.. u r standing since long...

He said "Son u r too late... I have to alight at next stop." I felt very low and blamed myself for not asking Uncle much earlier or instantly.

The sound "u r too late" still echoing in my ears. Suddenly i gve a serious thought "Why everytme i am late?? Everywhere, everyplace and at every point".

Before this i used to enjoy being late , even i had made a big statement on Facebook -- "I m nt a late bloomer , i bloom because i m late"
But todays incident made me feel very bad, and i started recalling how it all started and how it has become my routine practice..

School Days: An incident had made me hate my school, i was avoiding my school for many days but after parental pressure i had to go with torpid mind which mostly lead to reaching school late and missing the prayer everyday , sometime get punished while prayer was going.This punishment while prayer leads me to search for a backdoor entry to school from where i can reach to my class without being caught & punished.I have found it better as I was studying till late night,waking a bit late and then even after being late i can make it to my class
So i found Late coming as "Best time utilization for studies" and thought of getting awarded for this idea.
After this my classmates used to get shocked if anyday i reached on time!! Even in all events like 'farewell party' , Teachers day' etc ..


College Days: Till this time my school habits and my disliking towards doing Engineering made me taking college academics lightly. Initially i tried to come on time in each class but with time seeking the "quality of classroom teaching" i not only started coming late but bunking class as well. A step ahead from school. Even i used to come late in those classes where late comers were not allowed but i used to mange somehow.. Some classes i never wanted to miss or reach late but by then it was in my habit. And then a time came when my college time starts with 2nd or 3rd period only, i used to miss those classes generally.Everytime short attendance letter reached to my home. Limit was that, i used to go late in my sessional and semester exams too. Once reached 30 min late in a sem exam !!! Today wen i think abt ths i feel i was playing with my career.


Professional Days: First day of career or professional life, one is expected to reach before time , i was late by one and a half hour.!! But came to know that i reached at exact time , other joinees were made to sit for that much of time. Then from my training to project i reached late everywhere with the confidence i will do my work on time so there will be no issue. Actually this leads to much time devotion in office during night time. I have received many mails and complaints but since my work was all on time so none can raise finger on me. But i was defamed as "Late Comer". The late office reaching process is still going on and today i reached office 1 hr late.

This bad habit affected me in many ways. I was on the verge of missing many of my trains but finally got them , not coz i was on time but they too wre late.I think why i should be on time when whole system is late.But I reached many interview late to the decided timings.I missed many opportunities on being late.

Many people had to suffer and wait coz of me. I beg million of sorry to them. I too feel sorry for them and apologise but even then i get late.

I am sure if i would had any girlfriend , she would have ditched me just coz of my this habit.........!!!
One of my "Bestest" friend says "I am the TRADEMARK of LATE COMING" and now i myself feel that "LATE COMER, MUST SUFFER"
But after todays incident i will surely ensure that i become punctual in my behaviour and thoughts as well..

Request: Kindly help me in getting why i get late
Some probable reasons are
1) Irresponsible
2) Careless
3) Utilising time in its best way.
4) Laziness
5) My bad luck
6) Being Overconfident that even after being late, will manage anyhow.
7) Because the whole system is late.
