Take for a student like us for example. When we hand in our homework an time, we get the grades we deserved. However, if we don't hand it in on time, the teacher might cut our marks and we might find it not satisfying. We might protest on the marks that the teacher gives us, but actually it might be the student's fault for not handing in the work on time. Sometimes we might even think that the teacher is very nice and she would not cut our marks, thus not even meeting the deadline. Unfortunately, when our marks are being deducted, we can only face the music because it is our problem.The society we live in has also the same. The boss which we will work next time will certainly ask us to do something by a certain deadline and if we are unable to finish it on time, we might have given a bad impression on the boss or even worse, get fired.

Deadlines are actually important to meet as it shows a person's attitude to their work. It reflects off to the other party what kind of a person is he or she. Thus, if we promised someone that we would meet the deadline, we should try our best to do finish our work. However, if we know that we could not finish the work, we should tell the person that we couldn't meet the deadline. The other party might not be happy about it but at least they would give us some more time to finish our work. This at the very least shows that you are serious in your work and shows that you have the responsibility which is way better than making the person angry. Deadlines are also important as it might pull the other person's efficiency down. The person might have to finish the work by that night and you could only give them the next day. This might actually pull down their work that they have to give in by their own deadline. Thus, making this as repeated process.

We should know how to keep our word and meet deadlines as it not only affects you, but also the people working for you. Only by keeping deadlines will we get what we expected. If we do not keep our our word, it is the consequences that we must face...
