Why be early - Tipper Faust

This quote was added by user36793
Why do people always want to be 10 or 15 minutes early everywhere they go? If we make a habit out of that, we will waste a quantifiable part of our life. Let's say you have four places to go everyday. Doing the multiplication... That means you just lost 10 days out of your year. But, you were always on time. Shall we admire such a waste? Be 5 minutes late and you will get back an extra 5 days to yourself. Maybe you can use some of that time to occasionally be 5 minutes early.
