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 turns out that “contentment” simply means acceptance. Once a person can fully embrace everything that happens in this world, the world becomes them, and they become the world, united as one. That’s when life reaches its deepest fulfillment. // 原来，“知足”其实就是接受。人一旦能够完整地接纳这个世上发生的一切，世界即我，我即这个世界，合一，生命就得到了最大的满足。 Yuánlái, “zhīzú” qíshí jiùshì jiēshòu.

🌄🚶♂️👀 You must understand that you’re just traveling through the human world. Focus on the scenery, not on finding companions. Those who do will surely see more along the way. Of course, people are part of the scenery too, but only one part of it. // 你得知道自己不过是在人间旅行，把注意力放在风景上，而不是放在寻找旅伴上，这样的人肯定可以看见更多的风景，当然，人也是风景，不过只是风景之一。 Nǐ děi zhī dào zì jǐ bú guò … Read more
🛤️🍃🛣️ Once you choose one path in life, you give up another. Each road has its own scenery. In fact, when it comes to external landscapes, choosing is letting go, and letting go is choosing. There’s no difference between the two. // 人生一旦选择了走这条路，就放弃了另一条路，两条路上都有各自专属的风景。其实，对于身外的风景，选择就是放弃，放弃也就是选择，两者之间毫无区别。 Rénshēng yídàn xuǎnzé le zǒu zhè tiáo lù, jiù fàngqì le lìng … Read more
