A Success Riddle...

By
Education & Training with HD Realty BK662006
 Last week in my weekly email that I send to Realtors I posed a riddle, we had so much fun with it that I decided to share it with you too!

"I am your constant companion. I will push you forward to success or I will drag you down to failure. I am completely at your command. 80% of what you do, you might as well hand over to me and I will do it promptly and I will do it correctly. I am easily managed; you must merely be firm with me. Show me what you'd like to have done, and after a couple of lessons, I will do it automatically. I am the servant of all great people. Alas, I am the master of all failures as well. All who are great, I have made great. All who are failures, I have made failures. I am not a machine; but I do work with the precision of a machine and the intellect of a human. Take me, train me, be firm with me, and I'll lay the world at your feet. Be easy with me, and I will destroy you!"

"Who am I?"

Some of the answers I got included:

The subconscious/Your mind
Your Habits
Your Attitude
Your Conscience

I think that all of these are very good answers, and all could probably be interpreted as "right" , however the answer I was looking for (as I heard it) was...Your Habits!

Thanks for Reading!
