Bruce Lee quote translation

As you think, so shall you become. 你想成为什么样的人,就真的为成为那样的人。

That certainly looks like it's translated from an originally English quote.

Doesn't even look like correct Chinese to me. Shouldn't “为” be “会”? Also, it looks distinctly Mandarin, which seems unlikely for a Bruce Lee quote.

 

Translating something "back to" Chinese is a bad idea. Even if both the first and second translations were very good (and that's a big if), you'll almost certainly end up with something different from the original quote
