Diligence
Diligence is steadfast application, assiduousness and industry—the virtue of hard work. It is one of the seven heavenly virtues.
Diligent behavior is indicative of a work ethic — a belief that work is good in itself.[1]

Diligence in Buddhism
The last words of the Buddha was "Strive on with diligence". Diligence is an integral part of all Buddhist teaching, and is considered the fourth of the pāramitā.

Due diligence
Due diligence is the necessary amount of diligence required in a professional activity to avoid being negligent. This commonly arises in major acquisitions where the legal principle of caveat emptor (let the buyer beware) requires the purchaser to make a diligent survey of the property or service.[5]
