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.

In deep waters and strong winds, speak less, your words carry little weight. Focus on self-improvement, cultivate your own virtue. // 人性最浅薄的地方，就是一错抵百好。没有实力的时候，对别人的好都会被认为是讨好。水太深，风太大，没有实力，少说话，人微言轻，独善其身。 Rénxìng zuì qiǎnbó dì dìfāng, jiùshì yī … Read more
🧘♂️🌿✨ No matter your age, remember that those who speak slowly are valued, those who are gentle are wealthy, and those with great virtue are prosperous.
