Explanation:

The importance of punctuality and honoring the word:

I first came to realize that North Europeans, (Germans) value each minute of an hour of their time, so Latinos normally subestimate being on time.

From my experience, I learn punctuality is a way of respecting other peoples time and show formality and responsability. This is not only applicable to work meetings, it also includes meeting anyone, regardless the matter.

Time is so carefully being measured that the subway trains arrive in precisely the minute they are planned to do so.

Also meeting Japanese and keeping the word, is a lifetime experience that leaves great impact, for it is often underestimated to speak out of emotion,

Every time we make a vow to others or to ourselfs we should honor the word.

That is the basic principle, to become better individuals and self discipine.

In contrast our culture tends to lack this values But taking into account them and practicing for oneself leaves positive impression and a lasting impact on our interactions with others and increases our culture and values.
