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.

⏳🔥📉 You spend the same amount of time as others, but because others put in effort while you are casual, so when it’s time to evaluate the results, others succeed while you gain nothing but wasted time. // 你与别人花费一样的时间，因为别人用心，而你吊儿郎当，所以到了最后检验成果的时候，别人成功，而你除了赔了时间之后，一无所得。 Nǐ yǔ biérén huāfèi yīyàng de shíjiān, yīnwèi biérén yòngxīn, ér nǐ diào’erlángdāng, suǒyǐ dàole zuìhòu … Read more
💪💔🚶♂️ When you must let go, let go decisively. Only by letting go can you go far! By giving up something, you can pursue something else. Those who are unwilling to let go of anything will end up losing the most precious things. // 当必须放弃时，就果断地放弃吧。放得下，才能走得远！有所放弃，才能有所追求。什么也不愿放弃的人，反而会失去最珍贵的东西。 Dāng bìxū fàngqì shí, jiù guǒduàn de fàngqì ba.
