I AM YOUR CONSTANT COMPANION
I AM YOUR GREATEST ASSET OR HEAVIEST BURDEN
I WILL PUSH YOU TO SUCCESS OR DOWN TO FAILURE
I AM AT YOUR COMMAND. HALF THE THINGS YOU DO MIGHT JUST AS
WELL BE TURNED OVER TO 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. 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
