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.

🌳🍃 If there was an afterlife, I would be a tree, Standing in eternity, without a posture of joy or sorrow, Half in the earth, half in the wind, Half in the shade, half in the sun, Very silent and proud, Never relying on or looking for anything. // 如果有来生，要做一棵树， 站成永恒。没有悲欢的姿势， 一半在尘土里安详， 一半在风里飞扬； 一半洒落荫凉， 一半沐浴阳光。 … Read more
