深圳职业技术学院 商日一班 关金燕

    Diligence is the key to success. It means that success involves persistence and cannot be achieved overnight. The true meaning of diligence is not to exert ourselves around the clock without rest, but to work persistently and efficiently without wasting time.

    Some people believe in luck, but that outlook may deliver negative messages. For example, if a farmer just ploughs his field for a day and rests for most of the season, he would gain nothing.

    On the contrary, some people understand the importance of diligence and forming good habits, and I believe they are on the right track. For example, the reason why the Chinese women’s table tennis team does so well is because they all work hard training every day.

    Diligence is especially true in studying. We all know that once time is wasted, it will never return. As a junior college student who only has a three-year university life, I know we should devote more time and energy to our studies, because diligence will lead us to success.
