You might ask, “How do I become diligent?”. I started to accumulate a large backlog

of homework during the MCO until I reached a state of GREAT anxiety. From the book “Atomic

Habits”, I learned that tiny changes can bring remarkable results. Thus, I created a daily plan for

my homework by creating little checkpoints and not being over-ambitious. I found myself

clearing up my backlog with the 45 vs 15 minute method, whereby after every 45 minutes of

hard work, I granted myself a 15 minute break. I not only managed to clear up all my backlogs,

but working hard and diligently has also been integrated into my good habits today!

In conclusion, diligence is the key to success. We may have ambitious goals or talent, even
abundant resources as back up, but we would never be able to achieve any results without this

determining key. With these two role models and the good habit of diligence cultured through
the tiny changes in my life, they will keep motivating me in achieving my goals in the future. And

I hope you, too, can start up your hard work today and cheer from the joy that diligence brings

one day!

If we dare to win, we should also

dare to lose.
