I am your constant companion.



I am your greatest asset or heaviest burden.


I will push you up to success or down to disappointment.


I am at your command.


Half the things you do might just as well be turned over to me.


For I can do them quickly, correctly, and profitably.


I am easily managed; just be firm with me.


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 the precision of a


machine and the intelligence of a person.


You can run me for profit, or you can run me for ruin.


Show me how you want it done. Educate me. Train me.


Lead me. Reward me.


And I will then...do it automatically.


I am your servant.


Who am I?


I am a habit.
