Diligence Information
Diligence is steadfast application, assiduousness and industry—the virtue of hard work rather than the sin of careless sloth. It is one of the Seven Heavenly Virtues.
Diligent behaviour is indicative of a work ethic — a belief that work is good in itself.[1]
Diligence in students
Diligence in students is correlated with academic performance. This is especially found in younger students. The support of parents is significant in encouraging students to be diligent.[2] Other factors which encourage diligence in students include discipline, concentration, conformity and spirituality.[3]
Due diligence

Due diligence is the necessary amount of diligence required in a professional activity to avoid being negligent. This commonly arises in major acquisitions where the legal principle of caveat emptor (let the buyer beware) requires the purchaser to make a diligent survey of the property or service.[4]
