Regular readers know that Dividends4Life isn't just about dividend stock investing, but developing a winning attitude that can be applied to every aspect of our lifes. Recently I ran across an interesting web page "21 Suggestions for Success", by H. Jackson Brown, Jr. Here are the 10 that I identified as most important building success in my life:
8. Persistence, persistence, persistence.I could use some work on many of the others. It is a great list. I hope you enjoy pondering the list as much as I did.
10. Treat everyone you meet like you want to be treated.
11. Commit yourself to constant improvement.
12. Commit yourself to quality.
13. Understand that happiness is not based on possessions, power or prestige, but on relationships with people you love and respect.
15. Be honest.
16. Be a self-starter.
17. Be decisive even if it means you'll sometimes be wrong.
18. Stop blaming others. Take responsibility for every area of your life.
19. Be bold and courageous. When you look back on your life, you'll regret the things you didn't do more than the ones you did.

What do you think commit yourself to quality means?
It sounds appropriate but I am not sure where it applies in life yet. Maybe not life but rather my personal finances.
For me committing yourself to quality means expecting more out of my self, setting high standards and achieving them, not taking shortcuts, in short, striving to be the best I can be.
Best Wishes,
