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 you might just as
Well turn 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 individuals 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 . you may run
Me for a 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.
