If I take it steady, I am only right once,
but if I'm wrong, I stay wrong.
If I stand still, I am right twice.
but if I go backwards, I am right four times.
Are you :
A clock?
If I'm steady, I am only right once
If you stay on the right time, you're always right
but if I'm wrong, I stay wrong.
If you're off, but working, you'll never have the right time
If I stand still, I am right twice.
A broken clock is right twice a day
but if I go backwards, I am right four times.
A clock running backwards is right four times a day

1$\begingroup$ Because, @Andrey , that once is the present moment, and if the clock is right, it will ALWAYS be the present moment. Hence the clock will always be right once. Hope this helped. :) $\endgroup$ – Meet K. Sep 11 '15 at 6:37
