12 Secrets for Successful Families - 11.Industriousness

WHAT IT MEANS 

Industrious people do not shy away from work. Rather, they enjoy working hard to provide for their personal needs and to help others-even if the work they do is not glamorous.

WHY IT MATTERS

Like it or not, life is full of responsibilities.  In a world where many dislike the idea of working hard, being industrious puts you at an advantage.- Ecclesiastes 3:13. "I've learned that when you work hard, you get a sense of pride and inner satisfaction.  That feeling of inner satisfaction has actually caused me to learn to like work.  Having a strong work ethic will help you to build  a good reputation too." - Reyon.

BIBLE PRINCIPLE: "There is benefit in every kind of hard work." -Proverbs 14:23.
