I am your constant companion.
I am your greatest helper or---your 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 to 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 lesssons 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 a machine, though I work with all the percision of a machine. Plus, the intelligence of a man.
You may run me for profit, or run me for ruin; it makes no differance to me.
Take me, train me, be firm with me and I will put the world at your feet.
Be easy with me and I WILL DESTROY YOU!
Who am I?
I am Habit! Habit is my name!
