This means that our parents and teachers inculcate good etiquette in us from our childhood. We may have observed that some people in our network (maybe friends or colleagues or relatives) are always late and some always on time.

If good habits are inculcated from childhood itself, it is quite rewarding for that individual in several aspects. They can help us in networking, creating a positive impression of ourselves in our social circle and many times can contribute to career growth as well.
