Diligence

Diligence is the persistent, industrious effort to carry a task or enterprise to a successful conclusion. To stay focused, attention fixed upon completing the job, always pressing pressing pressing against all obstacles and opinion, until all is finished: here is a component of Success.

Organized productivity with built up and sustained momentum fixed upon an object, a goal, a desire or achievement is more likely to end with successful results than will sporadic, chaotic, indifferent efforts. Life's like that.

In earlier ages, even in my childhood [lol], Diligence was regarded as a virtue. It was a desirable character and personality trait. Sadly, this virtuous trait has come to be regarded with the same suspicion that has called all classical and/or traditional values into question.

It was another case of “throwing the baby out with the bath water.” Those who have managed to retain or implement this and other virtues have risen above the crowd in this age as in every previous age.

Diligence will be required if we hope to survive and succeed as a nation and as a species.
