Think of the different parts of the day, for example. The time of the day when something is done can give a special meaning to the event. In the United States, it is unusual to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and required immediate attention. The same meaning is given to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receive a call during sleeping hours, he may assume it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.

In daily life, time plays a very important part. In the United States, guests will feel they are less important if the invitation to a dinner party is received only three or four days before the party date. But this is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away are likely to be forgotten. The meaning of time varies in different parts of the world.

In the western world, especially in the United States, people think of time as something fixed in nature, something from which one cannot escape. As a result, American think of time as a road into the future, along which one progresses. Those who can plan their time wail are more likely to achieve success.
