Early is On Time

and On Time is Too Late.

I first heard that in Sonny Barger's book 'Freedom: Creeds from the Road' and it took me a while to really understand it.  

To be clear, it took a while for me to understand it as it relates to me. Sonny was pretty clear about what it meant to him.

To me its about respect. I don't like to be late because I think its disrespectful. This extends beyond being late to a meeting or a lunch date, it goes to delivery too. If you commit to a delivery, being late shows disrespect.
