  hi guys!
  
  Haven't login for so long.
  
  I have a question. Where do u find higher guidance? Not the sci-fi type or the religious type, but about say... work issues.
  
  my colleague "A" keeps being late for meetings. I'd told him off a few times, but he always have excuses.
  
  Colleague "B" who is in the same team as us, is not bothered by coll "A"'s lateness among other faults. He tells me he always look at the big picture. He says things like "to change someone else u must first change urself." I was quite pissed as I was trying to get him to stand on my side to tell Coll A off on his lateness problems. So when Coll B gave me this "to change someone else u must first change urself" mumbo jumbo, I replied with a "Can u suggest how I can change myself such that Coll A will be on time?"
  
  Coll B replied "I chose to overlook the faults of Coll A,"
  
  I said "Then how is this going to help him improve himself??"
  
  Coll B replied "I focus on what I am supposed to do and do it."
  
  AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
  
  win already lor.
  
  I really don't know how to handle the situation. I simply can't stand Coll A's lateness. I can't understand how Coll B can tolerate Coll A.
  
  Is there anyone with similar experience?

  tell Coll B to shut the fuk up because his ideas are retarded, and tell Coll A to stop being late or you will tell the boss to fire his ass.

  How does A's lateness affects you ?
  
  If it doesn't, you need to learn to stop being so bossy. And let your boss be the boss.

  Punctuality is not only a virtue but also a sign of respect for others.
  
  Firstly, who is the boss amongst the 3 of u?
  
  A person who is always late not only disrespects others but himself as well.
  
  In this case, the boss shud take responsibility for his staff`s conduct. So get the boss to do something about it.

  yup yup. Being on time is about respecting others and yourself.
  
  Maybe TS could bring this point up to your boss, if the situation is bad enough.
