 ABOUT HABIT
 
 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 at your command.
 
 Half of the tasks you do, you may just as well turn over to me.
 I will do them quickly and correctly.
 
 I am easily managed, but you must be firm with me.
 Show me exactly how you want something done.
 After a few lessons I will do it automatically.
 
 I am the servant of all great people; of all great failures as well.
 Those who are great, I have made great.
 Those who are failures, I have made failures.
 
 I am not medicine, but I work with the precision of a machine,
 plus the intelligence of a person.
 
 You may run me for profit, or run me for ruin.
 It makes no difference to me.
 
 Take me; train me; be firm with me, and I will lay the work at your feet.
 Be easy with me, and I will destroy you!
 
 Who am I ?
 I am called HABIT.
 
 HABIT IS MY NAME!
