Debate position in U.S culture

'It is better to be flexible about the use of time than to be punctual and follow schedules strictly'.
I agree with this statement. The reason is that life is changeable and when it comes to unexpected happens like accident, environmental effect or physical symptom, we are not able to control these things and need to change schedules with flexibility. Let's say that a student have hard flu and can not do anything with homework and preparing quiz. Even though the student made a schedules about his/her work, it is impossible to follow schedule. If a student have only 2 hour to do one of them, his/her should decide priority and make that. Let say that a person who work with company should research project until the day after tomorrow but he had an accident and should go to the hospital to check out his health condition. In this situation, he does not have time to research project and should delay tomorrow to do. That is, he is not able to follow schedules strictly since he had the accident. In this way, people sometimes hear the expression of 'life is curveball' that means there are always unexpected happens in life and many things can be change. Therefore, to be better life, it is necessary to use time with flexibility than follow schedules strictly.
