It depends on the group of course, but I often refer to the "start" and Over" principles as "Indian Time." And I always quote a teacher of mine who teaches Native Management courses at Trent University. He used to say that he never wanted to see a student coming late to class and claiming that he was running on "Indian Time." Indian Time means getting to the sunrise ceremony BEFORE the sun rises. It means being ready, not being late.
So I often say "When it starts is the right time and when it's over it's over: in other words, start when you're ready and finish when you're done" How about that for a wording? It's almost gramaticalloy incorrect enough to be a real principle!
