Could you give me an idea when to use the phrase 'on my part"? I'm trying to learn how to use the phrase but as you can see, I failed.

Remove 'on ... part'. The sentence will be: It requires vigilance or they resisted every effort.

Does the new sentence have the same meaning as the original?

Great explanation!!YongLiat. You are right that my original sucks because of redundancy.

The sentence is fine. However, there is a spelling error. It should be 'embarrassment'.
