King Solomon said to be the wisest man to ever live, coin these words in one of his many proverbs; “The hand of the diligent will rule, But the lazy man will be put to forced labor.”
I have studied and learned from some of the most successful people on the planet, and a common thread that each of them share is diligence. They may use another word to describe their success, but I have narrowed it down to this word called diligence.
Diligence means that you are attentive, thorough, and smart-working in your gifted area of influence. Many people have not developed the patience to see their gifted area evolve to the place of success or excellence.
Too many have the missed conceived notion that success will happen over night. Thomas Edison the inventor of the light bulb failed 10,000 times in his attempt to bring electric light to the world. I’m sure glad he didn’t give-up.
Norm Larsen the developer of WD-40 the house hold all-purpose spray, failed 39 times before he found a solution that worked. Hence the name WD-40, he was diligent.
Orville and Wilbur Wright’s diligence has benefited the entire world. Inventors of the airplane, these brothers failed many times in their attempt to defy the laws of gravity. Personally having traveled to over 25 countries and 4 continents, I am glad they had diligence. I would hate to have made these trips by boat.
Add diligence to your arsenal today. Never give-in or give-up!!!
