People underestimate the importance of dilligence as a virtue. No doubt it has something to do with how supremely mundane it seems. It is defined as "the constant and earnest effort to accomplish what is undertaken."...

It sets a high, seemingly impossible, expectation for performance and human behavior. ↗
