Japanese High School Robot Club

Other than the Thai stations, cable TV in Thailand offers of a wide variety of stations from around the globe. While surfing I usually click to the Japanese station, which is mostly broadcast in English. I watched an interesting documentary about a Japanese High School robot club. To the best of my recollection this was their motto.

Change your mind and you can change your actions.
Change your actions and you can change your habits.
Change your habits and you can change your character.
Change your character and you can change you destiny.

Great motto; it truly makes a lot of sense!

I was reading a contemporary Dhamma book in Thai today. The author refers to Samuel Smiles (Scottish author, 1812 - 1904) and I did more search on the internet. Here's the original version.

Sow a thought, and you reap an act;
Sow an act, and you reap a habit;
Sow a habit, and you reap a character;
Sow a character, and you reap a destiny.

* anonymous, quoted in Life and Labor (1887)

Not sure if you know this.
Thai students love mottoes & proverbs.
