Religion in the arts, Lao Tzu Poem!

"Watch your thoughts,
they become words,
Watch your words,
they become actions,
Watch your actions ,
they become habits,
Watch your habits,
 they become character,
Watch your character,
it becomes your destiny."


      The quotation is from a famous religious philosopher and his name is Lao Tzu. The first line is about the thinking of thoughts, the second line is about the thoughts that become words and words become action. And actions become habits, the habits develop characteristics and the character becomes your destiny. The significances of the quote is about a persons thinking and way of thinking. For example, A bad way of thinking can lead to many stages, such as developing the negative habit, obtaining bad characteristics, and the destiny becomes negative.
      In contrast, this could be vis versa . Thinking positive can lead to positive actions, which can lead to good habits, and which will eventually make a good character. The positive character makes his destiny positive.
      Overall, the author Lao Tzu's quotation is very meaningful. He is basically saying that if we think negatively, then our destiny will end up negatively. The importance of the quote is to realize the thinking before any action. Think before any action. The action can be lead to a negative destiny. Another example, I think about robbing a bank, next day i rob a bank, get caught, and now I'm in jail for life.
      The quotation is very special because the content is small, but the quote has depth and meaning.The quote always sparks a positive vibe, whenever I recite it. I read this special quote whenever I'm feeling down and I will carry it for the rest of my life. Very special!
