This is something for the New Year that I want to share with you!

[Terri Pattio]

I am at your command.
I am your constant companion.
I am your greatest asset or heaviest burden.
I will push you up to success or down to disappointment.

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.
