Who Am I?

I am your constant companion. I am your greatest helper or heaviest burden. I will push you onward or drag you down to failure. I am completely at your command. Half the things you do you might just as well turn over to me and I will be able do them quickly and correctly.

I am easily managed you must merely be firm with me. Show me exactly how you want something done and after a few lessons I will do it automatically. I am the servant of all great men; and alas, of all failures, as well those who are great, I have made great. Those who are failures, I have made failures.

I am not machine, though I work with all the precision of a machine plus the intelligence of a man You may run me for a profit or run me for ruin it makes no difference to me.

Take me, train me, be firm with me, and I will place the world at your feet. Be easy with me and I will destroy you.

WHO AM I?

I AM HABIT!
