Diligence

[1] Bernard et al.[3] define diligence in students as the effort they put towards balanced and holistic development in mental, physical, social, and spiritual dimensions.

[4] Other factors that encourage student diligence include motivation, discipline, concentration, responsibility, and devotedness.

In Mahayana tradition, diligence is the third pāramitā and the first said to lead to liberation, and it is said that its practice brings an increase of qualities.

[11] Hindus consider these characteristics essential for success and Shubh Labh (ethical profit).

It commonly arises in major acquisitions where the legal principle of caveat emptor ("let the buyer beware") requires the purchaser to make diligent inquiries about the property or service being sold.
