Habit

I came across this poem which spoke to my heart so I thought I'd share with you. Take care and have a nice day!



Habit

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 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 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.

WHO AM I?

I AM HABIT.

    Anonymous I am your constant companion,
    I am your wish come true or your most horrible nightmare
    I can give you riches or lock you away
    You are completely at my command
    Half the loot you get might just as well turn over to me
    and I will share them quickly and correctly.

    I am easily satisfied - you must merely vote for me.
    Tell me exactly how much you want
    and after a few phone calls, I will get it done.
    I am the servant of corruption
    and alas, of incompetence as well.
    Those who are wealthy; I have made wealthy.
    Those who are a threat; I have put them away.

    I am not a machine;
    though I work with all the precision of a machine
    plus the intelligence of a human
    You may vote me for a profit or vote me for ruin -
    it makes no difference to me.

    Take me, bribe me, be nice to me,
    And I will place the world at your feet.
    Defy me, and I will destroy you.

    Anonymous Let me share these quotes :

    Watch your thoughts;
    they become words.

    Watch your words;
    they become actions.

    Watch your actions;
    they become HABITS;

    Watch your habits;
    they become character.

    Watch your character;
    it becomes your destiny.

    The roots of Malaysia's dilemma today are :

    Wealth without work (special people under privilege law)
    Pleasure without conscience (our nation's wealth belongs to us)
    Knowledge without character (blind leading the blind in education)
    Commerce without morality (bribe is sanctioned as commission)
    Science without humanity (space traveler called a astronaut)
    Worship without sacrifice (mammon has taken over godliness)
    Politics without principles (we'll defend PJ by blood and bodies)

    ~ahoo~
