Diligence is visualizing each task as a special assignment from the Lord and using all my energies to accomplish it.
Martin Luther King Jr. said:
If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, sweep streets like Beethoven composed music.... Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven will have to pause and say: Here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well.
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
Ecclesiastes 9:10
