You might have realized that this “Quote of the day” section has become a large part of my website’s content. While I was picking up Chinese again in my late 30s after dropping it in my late 20s, I decided that the best way to study is to translate some quotes that I encountered into my mother tongue and English on the go.
These quotes may be funny or related to self-help. What’s better than being a better version of you while studying? Have fun with quotes in 3 languages. Check back here everyday for a new quote. Enjoy learning Vietnamese, Chinese, and English.

☔️🍚😌 When the sky wants to rain, it will rain; dishes need to be eaten with rice. // 天要下雨，菜要下饭。 Tiān yào xià yǔ, cài yào xià fàn. // Thiên yếu hạ vũ, thái yếu hạ phạn. // Trời muốn mưa thì sẽ mưa, đồ ăn cần có cơm mới ngon.
🍜⏳😌 Life is short, have another bowl. // 人生苦短，再来一碗。 Rén shēng kǔ duǎn, zài lái yī wǎn. // Nhân sinh khổ đoản, tái lai nhất oản. // Đời người ngắn ngủi, hãy ăn thêm một bát nữa.
