George Washington

George Washington was the President of the United States of America
from 1789 to 1797.He was the first President and was most well known for his
punctuality and sincerity.

He was always prompt for all his meetings and functions.The clock would even skip
time but George Washington would n't. He had a Personal Secretary in his
administration who was opposite of him when it comes to punctuality. It bothered
George Washington very much.

One day the secretary came late for work. The President waited for him for twenty
long minutes.
The secretary apologized to the President for arriving late.
He said
'Sorry,My President,my watch stopped working and I didn't know what time it was.
Sorry for the delay."
The President smiled at him and said "I think it's time you bought a good watch
which shows the right time,or I will look for another secretary who has a watch that functions
well."

The secretary got the message and never came late ever again.
