Habits

From Bob Goshen's book titled "The Power of Layered Leadership"
Page 111

" I am your constant companion. I am your greatest helper or I am your heaviest burden. I will push you onward or I will drag you down to failure. I am completely at your command. Half of the things you do, you might just as well hand them over to me and I will be able to do them much quicker. I am not easily managed. You must really 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 women 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, although I work with all the precision of a machine plus the intelligence of a man. You can run me for profit or you can 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."
