Summary: <br> I came across this poem (who's author is unknown to me) several years ago and I think it's definitely worth sharing. If you haven't yet listened to Episodes 12 to 15 on habit development, go check those out after listening to this episode. Enjoy!<br> <br> <br> HabitI will push you onward or drag you down to<br> failure.<br> I am completely at your command.<br> over to me and I will do them - quickly and<br> correctly.<br> Show me exactly how you want something done<br> and after a few lessons, I will do it automatically.<br> and alas, of all failures as well.<br> Those who are great, I have made great.<br> Those who are failures, I have made failures.<br> I work with the precision of a machine<br> plus the intelligence of a person.<br> it makes no difference to me.<br> I will place the world at your feet.<br> <br> I am your constant companion.<br> I am your greatest helper or heaviest burden.<br> Half of the things you do you might as well turn<br> I am easily managed - you must be firm with me.<br> I am the servant of great people,<br> I am not a machine though<br> You may run me for profit or run me for ruin -<br> Take me, train me, be firm with me, and<br> Be easy with me and I will destroy you.<br> Who am I? I am Habit.<br> <br> <br>
