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.

🌍🧘♂️🍃 Experiencing the world doesn’t merely involve dining at upscale restaurants or traveling the globe. It’s about the tranquility and equanimity you maintain when human nature unfolds before you. — Yang Jiang // 所谓见过世面，不是去某个高级餐厅吃个饭 也不是去世界各地旅行了一圈，而是当人性在你面前徐徐展开的时候，你的那份宁静坦然。–杨绛 Suǒwèi jiànguò shìmiàn, bùshì qù mǒu gè gāojí cāntīng chī gè fàn yě bùshì qù shìjiè gèdì lǚxíngle yī … Read more
