How to be Diligent in Achieving Success
Inch-by-inch, and step-by-step
Diligence is carefulness and persistent effort or work.
One of the seven heavenly virtues, it is indicative of a strong work ethic, meaning there is a belief that work is good in itself.
We are all students in life and diligence for any student, young or old is defined as the effort they put towards balanced and holistic development in mental, physical, social, and spiritual dimensions. Studies show that diligence correlates with peak performance, especially with beginners, and that the support of peers in mastermind groups encourages these beginners to be diligent.
Other factors that encourage diligence include motivation, discipline, concentration, responsibility, and devotedness.
A Big Takeaway
Due diligence is a term used to describe the amount of diligence required to avoid negligence in all our professional activities. It commonly arises in major acquisitions where the legal principle of caveat emptor (“let the buyer beware”) requires the purchaser to make diligent inquiries about the property or service being sold.
