Winning Every Race


Do you see a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings. -Proverbs 22:29

We all have traits that are part of the human condition which I will refer to as the human drive. However Diligence, is not one of our natural traits. In fact, the trait common to all humans is our desire or drive for instant gratification. We want as much as we can get, as fast as we can get it, with as little effort as possible. That is our human nature! So what is Diligence?

Diligence is a learnable skill that combines: creative persistence, a smart-working effort rightly planned and rightly performed in a timely, efficient, and effective manner to attain a result that is pure and of the hightest quality of excellence.
