A reflective essay argues punctuality and exactitude in daily life. It cites Washington chiding lateness in a council of war and warns against self centered delays. It warns that even capable people can be habitually unpunctual and urges consistent, precise conduct for all.
The essay contrasts strict punctuality with its wasteful side and notes how modern life emphasizes exact schedules. It observes medieval calm versus today’s clock obsession and suggests the habit divides people into punctual and unpunctual groups, with time awareness influencing behavior.
Bankers advise that high prices favor debtors as it takes fewer goods to settle dollars owed. Using wheat as an example, a $100 loan at $1 a bushel requires 100 bushels, but at $2 a bushel only 50 are needed. The principle applies broadly across products, urging borrowers to pay while prices are high rather than wait for declines. The piece notes some self described hard headed individuals acknowledging this truth.
