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 the heart doesn’t move, what can the wind do? If you don’t get hurt, the years will be fine. // 心若不动，风又奈何， 你若不伤，岁月无恙。 Xīn ruò bù dòng, fēng yòu nàihé, Nǐ ruò bù shāng, suìyuè wúyàng. // Tâm nhược bất động, phong hựu nại hà, Nhĩ nhược bất thương, tuế nguyệt vô dạng. P.s.: … Read more
🤗🌍😄 #ItsOkay #AverageIsFine Hey you, it’s okay, half of the people in the world are below average too. P.s.: Picture taken in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia in 2018.
🌸 I love the era of handcrafting, where people travel far and wide just to meet each other. Waiting patiently for the arrival of the geese, sitting in the courtyard on a quiet spring night, listening to the raindrops falling on the banana leaves, building a pavilion just to admire the blooming apricot blossoms. // … Read more
