Diligence - Puku-mahi "
Diligence
is working hard and doing the best job you
possibly can.
When you are diligent, you
take special care to do things step by step.
You think and move carefully to make sure
things will turn out right.
Being diligent is being industrious,
giving all you have to give whatever you do.
We
practise diligence when we:
pay attention to what we are doing do
things carefully, step by step practice
to the point of excellence give
your absolute best to what you do work
hard don’t
give up
