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.

🤯🌊🤔 Seeing mountains not as mountains and waters not as waters. As one gains experience, the world appears chaotic, with black and white reversed and right and wrong confused. Mountains evoke sighs, and waters elicit laments. // 看山不是山 看水不是水。涉世渐深，发现这个世界一片混沌，黑白颠倒，是非混淆，看山感慨，看水叹息。 Kàn shān bùshì shān kàn shuǐ bùshì shuǐ.
