· Main reason for success.
I had a colleague who often said that “nothing comes easy”. We worked together opening Bellagio and our culture of working hard and smart were the main reasons for our success. While many never work on projects that large, the same holds true for most things we do, big or small. Working hard is defined as constantly, regularly, or habitually engaged in earnest and energetic work. Working smart is defined as using your resources and tools to achieve the best potential outcomes within the allotted time. Together, these are what diligence means. That’s why diligence, which is defined as steady, earnest, and energetic effort, is the mother of good fortune. When you interview people, supervise employees, or consider someone for promotion, stress the importance of diligence. Being diligent goes hand in hand with having integrity – practice them both even when nobody’s looking. Both will help you to be all you can be. Be diligent in everything you do today.
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547 – 1616): Early Modern Spanish writer (Don Quixote) widely regarded as the greatest writer in the Spanish language and one of the world's pre-eminent novelists.
