Your best friend or greatest enemy, I am your greatest companion. I am your greatest helper or your heaviest burden. I will push you onwards or drag you down to failure. I am completely at your command.
Half the things you do, you might as well turn over to me and I'll do them quickly and correctly. I'm easily managed, but you must be firm with me. Show me exactly how you want something done and, after a few lessons, I'll do it automatically. I'm 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 work with the precision of a scientist and the passion of a patriot. You many 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 put the world at your feet. But be easy with me and I'll destroy you.
Who am I?

I am Habit!
Reminding you that good habits elevate you, and bad habits bring you down. The trick is to know which is which, and for you to control them, not let them control you.

Like it Patty! luckily I have no bad habits but my wife keeps saying I repeat myself repeat myself but she does not know know what she is she is on about about!
Hi Patty,
Good one about habits, and of course, so true. I love all the nuggets of wisdom I find here.
Take care!

I guess I am faultless. I have nothing bad about me or in or on me. I don't even know why I came here but I didn't want to leave the impression that I was bad or mad or something by not coming.
Now. Do i get mush and eggs for breakfast???
