Open Sesame

Contributed by: Panchanadhan Rajagopalan (kamalapunch @ gmail.com)

A man wanted to enter an exclusive club but did not know the password that was required. He waited by the door and listened.

A club member knocked on the door and the doorman said, "twelve." The member replied, "six" and was let in.

A second member came to the door and the doorman said, "six." The member replied, "three" and was let in.

The man thought he had heard enough and walked up to the door. The doorman said,"ten" and the man replied, "five."

But he was not let in.  What should have he said?

Come on guys put on your thinking caps & get the solution....

    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 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 much you want something done  and, after a few lessons, I will do it automatically.

    I am the servant of all great men; and alas, all of the 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 place the world at your feet.

    Be easy with me and I will destroy you.

    Who am I?
