One of my favorite movies is "The Dirty Dozen." I have watched it more times than I can remember.

In the movie, a U.S. Army Major, played by Lee Marvin, is assigned a dozen convicted murderers to train and lead into a mass assassination mission of German officers in World War II.

Ernest Borgnine, Charles Bronson, and Jim Brown also appeared in the movie.

The Dirty Dozen go through extensive training and discipline before setting out on their mission, which is accomplished even though most of them do not return home.

I thought of the training and discipline I remembered the Dirty Dozen going through when I read the following 12 steps for success. A friend passed along this "clean" dozen (I do not know who the author is.) and I thought I would pass them along as well:

1. Attitude: Choose and display the right attitudes daily.

2. Priorities: Determine and act on important priorities daily.

3. Health: Know and follow healthy guidelines daily.

4. Family: Communicate with and care for family daily.

5. Thinking: Practice and develop good thinking daily.

6. Commitment: Make and keep proper commitments daily.

7. Finances: Make and properly manage dollars daily.
