"I am your constant companion, your greatest helper and 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 as well turn them 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 lessons, 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 precision of a machine, plus
the intelligence of a human being. 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 put the world at your feet. Be easy with me and I will destroy you.
I am... HABIT!"
Consider this quote from the American physician and author, Oliver Wendell Holmes: "The greater thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are going."
Examine your habits. Where are they taking you?
