If you once did something, you are the person who has done it.

One teacher told me this statement. Do you agree with it?

• If you do anything, you become the kind of person who has done it. (his actual words)

It doesn't make much sense to me, although it's a grammatical sentence.

Do you think it's a wrong statement?

I’ve no idea what he was trying to say by that remark. You might as well forget it and move on.

I mean, it is tautologically true. If I ate a puppy just once, then I am surely the type of person who eats puppies.

On the other hand, if I played golf once and didn't like it, one wouldn't accurately describe me as the kind of person who plays golf.
