Anche stavolta, come sempre, dovevi battermi sul tempo. Non posso, non devo mai pensarti lontano, ma sempre qui come alle Dame, al Tenco o da Vito, burbero, dilagante, geniale, eterno amico mio: comincia a versare vino. Non fare che ti raggiunga con il bicchiere vuoto.

A Japanese Manager Once Told Me: “We Fire Employees Who Arrive on Time.”

I laughed.

Then he explained why—and it completely changed how I see success.

I first heard this in Tokyo during a business dinner.
I asked why being late is such a serious offense in Japan.

He replied calmly:
“We don’t fire the late ones. We fire the ones who arrive exactly at the start.”
The table went silent.

In my culture, arriving right on time means:
• responsible
• disciplined
• professional
In his culture? It means passive.

He explained:
“If you arrive at 9:00 sharp, you’ve waited until the last possible second.”
That tells us something important.
It tells us you didn’t plan for:
• traffic
• delays
• uncertainty
• responsibility beyond yourself

And if you don’t plan for uncertainty… you can’t be trusted with systems.

He said something I’ll never forget:
“Only the weak arrive in the last minute.”
Not because they’re lazy—but because they think in limits, not margins.
Japanese companies don’t value accuracy.
They value anticipation.

A professional arrives early to:
• settle the mind
• read the room
• prepare mentally
• show readiness

Not to rush in out of breath.

That idea stayed with me.

And once I noticed it… I couldn’t unsee it.

The most successful people everywhere, no matter within which country:
• arrive early
• stay calm
• observe first
• speak last

They’re already present before others even enter.

They build trust before the meeting begins.

They notice details others miss.

They create opportunity before others react.

That edge compounds.

Showing up early isn’t about time.
It’s about mindset.
Exactly on time says: “I did the minimum.”
Early says: “I came prepared for reality.”

Business, and life, require margin.
When someone says, “But I came on time,”
I no longer hear discipline.
I hear the limit of their thinking.

Japan understood this long ago:
Success begins before the clock starts.

Will Americans and Germans and many others relearn these self-explanatory principles?

The question going forward is:
Will YOU continue with the behavior of the Have-Nots, or choose the behavior and success of the Have-Yachts?
