Bible Verse:
Proverbs 10:4, Proverbs 12:24, Proverbs 21:5, Proverbs 22:29
Diligence is the
persistent and relentless effort by an individual to solve a problem, to
overcome difficulties and to accomplish great things.
This title is one of about nine
positive traits that makes a person “he that hath” or rich or successful or
wealthy. There are certain traits or attributes that successful persons have
that makes them successful and diligence is one of such traits.
DILIGENCE is a character of never
give up, never say die until the bones are rotten. If you have this spirit in
you nothing can stop you from making it in life. A lot of the time people get
discouraged by a few “no’s”. Just because ten people or even more think you
will not make it in life by the path you have chosen does not mean you will not
make it. Successful people never give up on their dream; they knock on the door
until it’s opened to them.
Do you know any successful man or
woman? Well I’m pretty sure if you ask them their story, there would be a few “no’s”
in there as well but that certainly did not stop them from pursuing what they
believed in. Here is one story to help you by.

YOU CAN MAKE IT TO HEAVEN
