"Diligence" as a constant, steady effort to accomplish a task. Diligence embraces responsibilities, quality work and perseverance.
A diligent person recognizes that opportunities must be treasured and taken. He takes not that not everybody has equal share of opportunities. Not everybody can go to school, even if they want to. Therefore, he is responsible in attending classes, submitting requirements, reads more than required etc. Secondly, a diligent person doesn’t trade quality for quantity. "Instants" for him are of poor-taste and quality. He works assigned tasks ahead of time.
