What is Quality?

I believe when you buy a sofa, or a handbag, or anything, you will definitely check the quality of the stuff before purchasing. Even when the item that you are going to purchase is on sale, you will still do quick check.
Do you do the same for your child?
Do you like this song: Que Sera Sera (Whatever will be, will be)

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, "What will I be?
Will I be pretty, will I be rich?"
Here's what she said to me

"Que Sera, Sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be"

When I grew up, and fell in love
I asked my sweetheart, "What lies ahead?
Will we have rainbows, day after day?"
Here's what my sweetheart said

"Que Sera, Sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be"

Now I have children of my own
They ask their father, "What will I be
Will I be handsome, will I be rich?"
I tell them tenderly

"Que Sera, Sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be"

Is this the quality that you expect for your child or from your child? Whatever will be, will be?
One of the keys to excellence that you may want to take note is: Quality
What is quality?
The Oxford Dictionary defined quality as "The standard of something as measured against other things of a similar kind; the degree of excellence of something."
Quality is respected, often expected, and primarily responsible for customer satisfaction, or the lack thereof.
In a nutshell, quality means doing more than was expected - above and beyond the call of duty.
What types of quality work your child will produce will depend on whether you seek for quality work from him when he is young. An early commitment to quality can have both immediate and future benefits for your child's development and later success in life.
If our children are going to grow into adults of quality who produce quality work, we can help them by cultivating that ability when they are young.
And school is one of the best training grounds in which to practise doing quality work.
