思考に気をつけなさい、それはいつか言葉になるから。
言葉に気をつけなさい、されはいつか行動になるから。
行動に気をつけなさい、それはいつか習慣になるから。
習慣に気をつけなさい、それはいつか性格になるから。
性格に気をつけなさい、それはいつか運命になるから。

My friend gave me this picture with the words which was said by Mother Teresa.

Be careful of your ways of thinking, because they will be your words.
Be careful of your words, because they will be your behaviors.
Be careful of your behaviors, because they will be your habits.
Be careful of your habits, because they will be your personality.
Pay attention to your personality, because it will be your lot.

So I feel that our life or lot is made by our ways of thinking.

Mother Teresa’s word reminds me some people. For example, I remember my senior in my university. When our supervisor asked me to help her studies, she was so spiteful of me. Although I helped her sincerely, but she always doubted all colleagues and said “They want to steal my data, so I have to be careful.” I did not think that somebody would steal her data, because we all knew what kind of data we had been working on. But she did not trust all colleagues.

However when I met another senior, he told me that the senior was not spiteful four years ago. She was very friendly and open-minded person. I was sorry and surprised at the difference of the person between what she used to be and at that time.

If people think using wrong way for four years, personalities would be changed unconsiously, what’s more, her life might be changed by her ways of thinking. I’d like to keep my personality which I want to be as my goal of life. So I’d like to keep positive ways of thinking in my heart.
