Turning Intelligence Into Productivity!

There are so many intelligent people.

Intelligence can never be equal to results. Results answer to diligence.  

The word diligence comes from diligo, a latin word meaning ''to love earnestly'' the purest diligence results from having an earnest love for  what you do and the purposes for which you do it. tracing diligo back another generation, we find the Latin word di and lego, which means ''to choose''. the ''earnest love'' which motivates diligence is based on choice, not chance. we choose to be diligence because we earnestly desire to do the right thing, not because we happen to stumble into it. 

It is commitment that injects life into intelligence.

Intelligence expresses itself on the platform of diligence i.e. commitment to work without commitment to work intelligence will be lame and impotent.

Failure seems to be a solid formation for success because there is nothing below or worse than failure.

Those who have failed really have nothing more to fear.
 

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP!!!!! by Winston Churchhill
 

When commitment builds it has great possibility to transcend any level of intelligence.

Intelligent people have the tendency to think that they have arrived the peak of their lives while diligent people continue with the process of exploring and developing themselves endlessly. Intelligent people usually think of assuming a state while diligent people just simply keep thinking of changing levels and improving themselves in a process of time.

THOMAS EDISON    ''I WILL''

 I Will:
• finish my projects.
• do a job right.
• follow instructions.
• concentrate on my work.
• not be lazy

 I Will Finish My Projects.

Amelia Earhart said, “It is far easier to start something than to finish it.” As the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean alone, she should know. Indeed, it was far easier for her to take off on her trans-Atlantic flight than to complete the trip. She had to stay awake, stay at the controls, stay on course, and overcome strong headwinds. But despite all these challenges, she finished. Completing a project often requires unexpected sacrifice. It may require students to stay awake a little longer, not leave their work when invited to play, or solve difficult problems instead of giving up and retreating. Amelia Earhart was the first to fly from Honolulu to the U.S. mainland and the first to fly across the United States from east to west and from west to east. However, in 1937 her plane vanished while she was trying to fly around the world. It was the only flight she never finished.

I Will Do a Job Right.

If a job is worth doing, it is worth doing right. Too often, children complete their assignments in a hurried way that compromises the accuracy and thoroughness of their projects. Substandard work then requires additional time to repair, rewrite, or redo. A diligent person remembers, “If I don’t have time to do it right, when will I have time to do it over?”

 I Will Listen to Instructions.

It has been said that when people are working on a wrong track, doubling their efforts just gets them nowhere twice as fast. Diligence makes sure that a person finds the right track and stays on it. Diligent students ask for directions when lost and ask questions when they don’t understand. They read instruction manuals and make every effort count.

I Will Concentrate on My Work.

Distractions come in many shapes and sizes. Diligent students, however, are not sidetracked by noisy classmates, cluttered desks, hushed whispers, ringing telephones, or sleepy eyes. Diligent individuals reject the impulse to daydream, doodle, or delay. They concentrate on one thing at a

time, putting their whole heart into each task set before them. In fact, research suggests that the ability to concentrate is one of the faculties associated with genius.

I Will Not Be Lazy

The sloth is a creature that hangs in the trees of Central and South America, spending its days eating, sleeping, and doing little or nothing else. It moves slower than any other mammal and doesn’t even bother to rid itself of algae growing in its hair. The sloth is so lazy that it will starve for lack

of food rather than exert the energy to look for more. Unfortunately, slothfulness fitly describes children and adults who do as little as possible and let others pick up the slack. Their unwillingness to participate as productive citizens puts a drain on both their families and schools.

 WAYS TO BE DILIGENT  

1. Create concrete goals to work toward.

 This helps you create a realistic plan for reaching your objectives instead of expecting things to "randomly work out." Setting and accomplishing smaller tasks can build your confidence, making it easier to tackle increasingly larger goals. Stay diligent by continually assessing your progress and celebrating your achievements along the way to goal completion.

2 . Establish new personal standards. 

Identify problem areas and think of ways to avoid falling prey to negative behaviors. Although it may be difficult to correct unpleasant habits, it's necessary to build self-confidence. Choosing a role model to emulate can help keep your mind focused on achieving your goals.

3. Find positive outlets to release your stress and doubts.

 

 Managing your stress in constructive ways can restore energy and reduce negativity. Activities such as free-form painting, aerobics and cooking can help keep your spirits high without getting you into trouble. Avoid participating in destructive habits that only serve to distract you from essential tasks. Learning to say "no" without feeling guilty can make others take notice of your inner-strength.

 

4.  Commit to keeping a positive attitude despite your circumstances. 

 

This doesn't mean that you can never express sadness; it means that you can't allow pessimism to overcome you. It's easier to stay true to your ultimate intentions if you lose negative attitudes about yourself and your abilities. Reminding yourself of what makes you special can keep you motivated throughout your efforts.

 

5.  Limit distractions to remain diligent.

 

 Remove negative influences from your life to keep your mind focused on your goals. This includes any relationship or activity that doesn't help you stay committed to your ideals. Realizing that everyone doesn't want you to succeed can help strengthen your resolve to prove your critics wrong.
