To be honest, I had no idea there was a definition for this, and that the differences existed by concepts.
I met many people living in a Monochronic world in Peru, and at the same time, I enjoyed living in a Polychronic one. Those were the years, when I stood up a lot of people for not hurting his or her feelings with "I can't" I remember those experience, like the song says, I was "Wild, Young and Free". It is important to be punctual, Nevertheless, sometimes you have to open your mind to the idea that it is not that serious or hard. On the other hand. It is a good idea to take into consideration what you are agreeing with, After all, you actually hurt more when you are not straight to people.
What is probably sad about this, it is the fact that one group may not understand clearly the idea of the personal capacity of the other. To think that the group or the certain groups have the total or complete information when actullay, it is not. It is like to build a cultural wall among people.
It is true though, when you work for others like in the company or a business, you have to respect the others laws and and parameters because you are committing to those. You are taking part, you are accepting the conditions, and you are agreeing with them.
On the other hand as a teacher, I guess the best way to help others to meet and commit to the required standards of an educational institution it is to meet and to be punctual, I have to mention that this information it is very important. Because, now I know, that Punctuality It may not be an intentional behaviour, but the result of formed habits and Paradigms.
Let's show simpathy, and at the same time, How important it is to commit and to fight to be punctual, You may not need to stop being Polychronic, But to show appreciation for some principles of punctuality.

It sounds like you appreciate the both of best worlds, concerning time.
ReplyDeleteThis statement is really good: "What is probably sad about this, it is the fact that one group may not understand clearly the idea of the personal capacity of the other.
