DILIGENCE

DILIGENCE

Benjamin Franklin once said, "Diligence is the mother of good luck", therefore, if you expect to one day meet with good luck, if one day you expect to arrive at the destination you have always wished for, you must get your sleeves rolled up, get your hands buried in work, and never look back until your dreams and expectations are met.

Life does not just happen, and wishes don't just come to pass, like Confucius also said, "The expectations of life depend upon diligence; the mechanic that would perfect his work must first sharpen his tools." When your part of the bargain is fully met, and satisfied, you should expect to get the results you hope and wish for.

Life may sometimes be cruel, you may be as diligent as you can be, but still don't get what you want at the time you want it, don't stop being diligent at what you do. There is always that hope of realization of expectations as long as you keep going, but once you quit, you have successfully stamped the guarantee of failure, there is no reward for quitting.

It is not the number of time you are beaten down to the dust that really matters, what matters most is the number of times you get up after been beaten. If you can just get up one more time than you have been down, then you are a winner. If your DILIGENCE can always beat the desire to quit; if it can always beat the craving to be idle; if it can always push you a bit further, victory is sure.
