Simplified Meaning:
Being on time is really important. Imagine catching a flight: it's better to get to the airport early and wait a bit than to arrive a moment after the plane has taken off. If you miss the plane, you can’t go on your trip and it might cause a lot of trouble. In everyday life, showing up a little early for things like meetings or appointments gives you a cushion in case something unexpected happens, like traffic or getting lost. This way, you're prepared and won't miss out on important opportunities. Planning ahead and allowing extra time means you're more relaxed and ready for whatever comes your way.
