So answer this and do it honestly meaning no google search since that defeats the purpose of thinking on what it is.
To the riddle now.
"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 at your command.
Half of the tasks you do you might just as well turn over to me,
And I will do them quickly and correctly.

I am easily managed, you must simply be firm with me,
Show me exactly how you want something done;
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, but I work with all of the precision of a machine,
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.

Who am I?"

"Those who are great I have made great,
Those who are failures I have made failures.
I am not a machine, but I work with all of the precision of a machine,
Plus the intelligence of a person."

This points out that it deals with human personality or the brain. The answer: Habit. Why habit? Because its something we do constantly. The greatest minds did things by habit or did repeatedly. Those who have ruined themselves, even people like that today have done it out of nasty "habits" 

2nd guess even though only 1 of them posted and it has the right answer so saint wins the 20k Viz.
