I am your constant companion, I am your greatest helper or you heaviest burden. I will push you onward or drag you down to failure. I am at your command. Half of the tasks that you do you might just as well Turn over to me, and I will do them quickly and correctly. I am easily managed, you must merely be firm with me, Show me exactly how you want something done; After a few lessons I will do it automatically. I am a servant of all great people 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 a machine, but I work with all the precision of a machine, plus the intelligence of a person. Now, you may run me for profit or you may run me For ruin. It makes no difference to me. Take me, train me, be firm with me, And I will lay the world at your feet. Be easy with me and I will destroy you. Who am I?.......................... I am called HABIT.
