Not bad,we are what we think & first must learn the right habits for building fuller thought & from steady reason, just like learning a fuller vocabulary & grammar, practiced in a variety of situations requiring civilities, for more well rounded speech. One effects the other, thought & speech.

That reminds me of part of a speech given in the film " The Iron Lady " , rather muddled portrayal of Margaret Thatcher which dwelt far too much on her failing years when she was older & losing grip.The scene, the doctor is questioning her to see if shes all there, and she replies with the memory of what her father taught her to live by: (great performance by Meryl Streep, but so so script)

Doctor: How do you feel?" /

Margaret Thatcher: "Oh, I don't feel comfortable." / "Oh, I'm so sorry, we the group, we're feeling..." Do you know, one of the greatest problems of our age is that we are governed by people who care more about feelings than they do about thoughts and ideas? Now, thoughts and ideas, that interests me.

Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become your character. And watch your character, for it becomes your destiny. What we think, we become. My father always said that. And I think I am fine.
