Rightly said by EasyPPP and markov! Submitting same content to top quality sites will decline your position in SERP results, as these directories being updated many times a day are the main resources of informations for SEs and SEs grab content from them just after a little while it goes live on these directories, while same content on your site indexes after some days, so SEs considers the content from directory as original and the one on your blog as duplicate.

You can submit it after a little editing, and better is to submit to article directories after it's one week old at your blog!
