A Definition of Diligence:

Investing all my energies to complete whatever tasks I must perform to gain my objectives 
… or those which are assigned to me. 

That was OK, but, that was before I personally got some "pain" from not knowing 
exactly what it really meant and I "suffered" from that mistake.

So, make it a "must do" to read everything you "sign" .... check and double check
 to stay informed and out of trouble. That to me is utilizing due DILIGENCE.

Let me re-state that DUE DILIGENCE means You must Check, Research, Try and Explore EVERYTHING.  From "A" to "Z".  When you have given it this kind of attention, you can say you used:  DUE DILIGENCE

  Illustration:

The diligent beaver views life very differently than the sloth. 
The sloth waits for opportunity. (sounds like a lot of people, today) 
It may spend its entire life in a single tree, eating whatever foliage is in easy reach. 
(that which comes "easily" == sound familiar ?) 

The beaver, however, creates opportunity. 
After selecting a river-front location, the beaver builds a dam. 
The dam in turn creates (it develops into) a pond in the middle of which 
the beaver constructs its lodge. (takes some "work", yes!) 

Think this: 

I Will:   

Use discipline in accomplishing my tasks. 
Make a to-do list to be diligent to get things done not give up choose 
to direct my energies to areas where I can be successful. 

Application : 

The term diligence is derived from Latin phrases meaning "to choose," and "to love earnestly."

 Take three skilled musicians who love good music and who have diligently applied 
themselves to the skills of music. Have each play a short piece of music. 

Afterward, ask them to switch instruments and play that piece over again. 

How do you suppose they would sound? 

All three are excellent musicians, but their expertise is limited to that 
instrument to which they have given diligent attention. 

This shows the importance of the Latin root "to choose" from which diligence comes. 

We need to be aware of how we use our daily energies, and then choose to direct them to the areas where we want success. 

NOTICE: 

I am not aware of the origin of the definition, (not really) but you should get the message ! 

It should help you succeed !
