"생각은 행동을 낳고, 행동은 습관을 낳고, 습관은 인격을 낳고, 인격은 운명을 낳는다"

예전에 엄마가 가끔 인용하던 글인데,
찾아보니 엄마가 주입한것과는 달리 도스토 예브스키는 이런말 한적이 있는지 찾기가 힘들고....
19세기 경부터 떠돌던 말인데, 하두 많은 먹물들이 대서양을 사이에 두고 떠들어서 진정 누가 먼저 한말인지는 모르겠다.

또 보니, 제 글인양마냥 대충 의역하여 글도둑질 하는 넘들도 있네....

it becomes what you think;

Be careful what you do,
it becomes a habit.
Be careful of your habits,
they become your character.
Be careful of your character,
it becomes your destiny.
