Dealing Me.

Oh chilly weather.
I love it.

Here's an excerpt from one of the books I've been reading:
Take some time and think about it

*

Who Am I?

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 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 a few lession I will do it automatically.
I am the servant of all great inidividuals,
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 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 plae the world at your feet.
Be easy with me
And I will destroy you.
