Diligence comes from the Latin diligere, which means "to value highly, take delight in," but in English it has always meant careful and hard-working.The Advanced Learner's Dictionary defines diligence as careful and thorough work or effort.
If you're a diligent worker, you don't just bang away at your job; you earnestly try to do everything right. Although being lucky and talented doesn't hurt, it's the diligent person who eventually succeeds.

We can be sure of reaping the great rewards if we embrace diligence.Shalom!!!
