The problem with being on time is that nobody is there to appreciate it

Try to imagine a life without timekeeping.
You probably can’t. 
You know the month, the year, the day of the week. 
There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car. 
You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie. 
Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. 
Birds are not late. 
A dog does not check its watch. 
Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. 
Man alone measures time. 
Man alone chimes the hour. 
And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. 
A fear of time running out.

- Mitch Albom, The Time Keeper
