You are what you think (about)

Seen on the subway this morning "What you put time into -- you become."

That's pretty much the same as the Buddha said more than 2500 years ago, "You are what you think, having become what you thought." These are the first lines of the Dhammapada.

Or another way to say the same thing is that old maxim from the early days of computers - punch cards and the like in the early 70s. "Junk in, junk out."

Yiks! What are I thinking about?

G’Day,

Seems like you have your work cut out for you with this trip, good luck and will keep track.
Maybe you would like to check this couple out, came by here few years ago on way to Greenland and Scotland, very brave couple and had some great adventures on the Labrador.
