Read the following paragraph, then fill in the table as shown in the example:

يُحِبُّ الْفَتَى وَطَنَهُ، وَمَا زَالَ إِخْلَاصُهُ فِي الْعَمَلِ دَلِيلاً عَلَى تِلْكَ الْمَحَبَّةِ، فَكَانَ يَذْهَبُ إِلَى عَمَلِهِ مُبَكِّراً، وَكَثِيراً مَا أَبَى مُغَادَرَةَ مَوْقِعِ الْعَمَلِ قَبْلَ إِنْهَاءِ مَا قَرَّرَ إِنْجَازَهُ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، وَكَمْ أَخَذَ عَلَى مَسْؤُولِيَّتِهِ إِتْمَامَ الْأَعْمَالِ فِي وَقْتِهَا، فَمَا أَخَّرَ عَمَلاً وَلَا أَجَّلَ مَوْعِداً، فَكَانَ مِثَالاً لِلْمُوَاطِنِ الصَّالِحِ.

The young man loves his homeland, and his dedication to his work remains proof of that love.

He frequently took responsibility for completing tasks on time, never delaying work or postponing an appointment, serving as an example of a good citizen.
