the 1st i'm not sure of. the 2nd should be hard work never goes to waste. it's a proverb.
the 3rd, it means she had a very strong feeling towards doing something and she counldn't be persuaded to change her mind. that's what the word 'insist' means.
hope this is of some help. :)

(I’ve found similar sentences using Google).
3. She insisted to do this. There’s nothing to correct. I think it’s OK.
WRT all of you!

I agree with Jamie and Lucy about "Hard work never goes to waste". I've had a mistake.
I’m sorry!

In British English the plural '2 and 2 make 4' is very common. :?
