The importance of meeting deadlines.

Meeting deadlines in business and education is very important.   Deadlines were put in place for a reason and not meeting them can have consequences.  in education not turning something in on time can mean a reduction in grades, or in the case of permission forms, the exclusion from certain events.  in business if you turn in work late, you could be hurting your employer and in extreme cases you could be fired.  if you aren't going to meet deadlines then what is the point?  Not doing stuff on time can only be negative for you or others.
