(Q - Xavier: You see, although I consulted all the possible dictionaries, we were diligent and zealous, I did not find a single dictionary that made a difference between the two, apart from that
it's synonyms. Is for you diligent and zealous…)
MB: No, no, no, no, no, but I’ll stop you right now. These are not synonyms. What are you telling me?
(Q - Xavier: Well the problem is that there, I have 3 in front of my eyes, there are marked, definition of diligent, first thing which is marked, synonym zealous, the 2nd, synonym zealous, diligent and the 3rd synonym of zealous, diligent.)
MB: They're not synonyms after all, it's not because on the internet we see that they are synonyms, that they are synonyms. I will tell you, I found different definitions, let me answer you, they are not synonyms once and for all, diligent induces a notion of celerity, rapidity, speed, okay? And zealous induces a notion of application. Zeal has nothing to do with speed, zeal is application, the level of involvement and application that one brings to achieving something.
So diligent and zealous are not synonyms, even if on the internet they are considered as such. If we look in serious dictionaries and if we ask academicians, they will be able to tell you that it is not quite the same thing.
(Q - ??: Quickly done and well done?)
MB: If we want, if we want, it would be done quickly, well done, indeed.
(Q - Xavier: No, it's good, it's good. At least that's what we generally find, that means that for you it's really like that, it’s in relation…)
MB: here I would say not to speak of general because we will still consider that it is an allusion to something…
