Who Am I?

March 16, 2010 by admin

I am your constant companion.

I am your greatest helper or heaviest burden.

I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.

I am completely at your command.

Half the things you do might just as well be turned 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 people 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 person. 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 place the world at
your feet. Be easy with me, and I will destroy you.
