Diligence

Websters 1828 dictionary:

DILIGENCE, noun [Latin , to love earnestly; to choose.]
1. Steady application in business of any kind; constant effort to accomplish what is undertaken; exertion of body or mind without unnecessary delay or sloth; due attention; industry; assiduity.
DILIGENCE is the philosophers stone that turns every thing to gold. 
2. Care; heed; heed-fulness.

Scriptures:

2 Peter 1:5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
Proverbs 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

  Words:

Focus,  Endure, 

Quotes:

 Diligence is the mother of good luck.
-Benjamin Franklin

 Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and diligence.

 -Abagail Adams

 Creativity itself doesn't care at all about results - the only thing it craves is the process. Learn to love the process and let whatever happens next happen, without fussing too much about it. Work like a monk, or a mule, or some other representative metaphor for diligence. Love the work. Destiny will do what it wants with you, regardless.

-Elizabeth Gilbert 

My thoughts:

I believe  that diligence is a very important part of life. If you want to change the world you need to be great. If you want to be great you need to do something big. If you want to do something big you need to know how to get things done, and if you want to get something done, you need diligence.
