DILIGENCE: Pathway to successful studentship - PART 1

Proverbs 22:29 "Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men".

Diligence is the quality of working carefully and with a lot of timed effort. Desire fuels Determination. Determination will amount to nothing without Discipline. Discipline as well will be nothing when it's not being practiced diligently. Diligence happens to be the vehicle that conveys desire, determination and discipline to the appropriate and desired destination or goal. 

Diligence also simply means being consistent in a given assignment. Another word for Diligence is Consistency. Consistency is what brings about true success in any endeavor.

Therefore, being diligent is continually doing what is required to get to the desired destination or goals. It is a reoccurring decimal that needs to be done regardless of circumstances that may warrant otherwise. If a man is not diligent in what he does, he cannot achieve that which he has set aside to do.

In 2008, Malcolm Gladwell published his New York Times bestseller, Outliers, Gladwell frequently talks about the 10,000-Hour Rule, citing it as "the magic number of greatness. According to his book, it was proven that if you consistently or diligently spend 10,000 hours practicing a subject,you will become master of it. This 10,000 rule is applicable to any facet of life that require greatness. Show me a man that is consistent in his assignments, I will show you a man of greatness.

Studentship simply means the act of being a student. A student is simply someone that love acquiring knowledge, hence, Studentship does not have a lifespan or let me put this way you can't graduate out of the school of learning; You can only graduate from one stage to another - it is a venture for life. Henry Ford said and I quote, "the day man stops learning, man starts dying no matter what level he has attained. This doesn't have to be the natural death. A life void of knowledge is dead. The fastest killer of any thing whatsoever, be it dreams, goals, achievements, efforts, etc. - IGNORANCE
