The Power of Habit

You may know me.
I am your constant companion. 
I am your greatest helper; I'm your heaviest burden.
I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.
I am at your command.
Half the things I do you might as well turn over to me.
I'm able to do them quickly, and 
I'm able to do them the same every time,
if that's what you want.

I am easily managed; all you've got to do is be firm with me.
Show me exactly how you want it done;
after a few lessons I will do it automatically.
I am the servant of all great men and women; of course,
I'm the servant of all failures as well.
I've made all the winners who have ever lived.
And, I've made all the losers, too.

But I work with all the precision of a marvelous computer
with the intelligence of a human being.
You may run me for profit, or you may run me for ruin;
it makes no difference to me.

Take me. Be easy with me, and I will destroy you.
Be firm with me, I'll put the world at your feet.

Who Am I?

I'm Habit!
