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.

💖🧠⏳ It is not hard to set your mind; it is hard to set a great mind. It is not hard to have a momentary resolve; it is hard to maintain a long-term resolve. // 发心不难，发大心难；发一时之心不难，发长远之心就难。 Fā xīn bù nán, fā dà xīn nán; fā yì shí zhī xīn bù nán, fā cháng yuǎn zhī … Read more
