"I am your constant companion;

I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.
I am at your command.
Half of the tasks that you do you might just as well
Turn over to me and I will do them quickly and correctly.

I am the servant of all great people
and the regret 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 but I will work with all its precision
Plus the intelligence of a person.
Now you may run me for profit or you may run me for ruin.
It makes no difference to me.
Take me, train me, be firm with me and
I will lay the world at your feet.
Be easy with me and I will destroy you.
I am called Habit!"

And don’t listen to others thoughts ‘n’ founds

She reared me with love
She cradled me each evening

She punished me with the passing of time
And at last when I long to leave
She will embrace me for eternity.
It makes me ashamed

But one day a year

Our life, our space, our nature
Were one unity
