Really very Touching Life Story, Must Read It...!!!

Touching life story.....

A young man was getting ready to graduate college. For
many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a
dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well
afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.

As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited
signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally,
on the morning of his graduation his father called him
into his private study. His father told him how proud
he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much
he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box.
Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man opened the box
and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible. Angrily, he raised his voice
at his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?"
and stormed out of the house, leaving the holy book.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business.
He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father
was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him.
He had not seen him since that graduation day.
Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his
father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son.
He needed to come home immediately and take care things.
When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart.

He began to search his father's important papers and
saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago.
With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages.
As he read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope
taped behind the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name,
the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired.
On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words...PAID IN FULL.

Who am I...?

Who am I?

I am your constant companion.
I am your greatest helper or your heaviest burden.
I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.
I am completely at your command.

Half the things you do, you 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 men.
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 man.

You may run me for profit, or run me for ruin;
it makes no difference to me.

Take me, train me, be firm with me and I will put
the world at your feet.

Be easy with me, and I will destroy you.

Who am I?

I am a HABIT!
