留美老师带你每天说英文 第1086期:迟到代表不尊重他人

台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是：

And I always underestimate how long something is going to take. I don't like this about myself. I understand that me showing up late is seen as a sign of disrespect by people and it is! It is disrespectful. I feel terrible about that because I really respect the people I work with and I value them tremendously.
