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.

😎🏠🌟 When you don’t feel like going to work, just look in the mirror. You’re too good-looking to waste staying at home. // 不想上班的时候就照照镜子，长的这么好看，待在家里亏了。 Bù xiǎng shàng bān de shí hòu jiù zhào zhào jìng zi, zhǎng dé zhè me hǎo kàn, dài zài jiā lǐ kuī le. // Bất tưởng thượng ban đích thời … Read more
🌱🧠📚 I believe you can learn something from everyone you meet. It might be about what not to do, but at least you’re learning something. // 我相信你可以从你遇到的每个人身上学到一些东西。可能是在学习什么不该做，但至少你正在学习一些东西。 Wǒ xiāng xìn nǐ kě yǐ cóng nǐ yù dào de měi gè rén shēn shang xué dào yī xiē dōng xī.

🤐💭🔍 Let it be. Some things are better left clear in your mind. If you can’t accept the outcome, don’t seek to confirm it. Once you ask, there’s nothing left to say. // 算了吧，有些事情自己心里清楚就好，接受不了结果就不要轻易去验证，因为问清楚了也就彻底没有什么可言了。 Suàn le ba, yǒu xiē shì qíng zì jǐ xīn lǐ qīng chǔ jiù hǎo, jiē shòu bù liǎo jié guǒ … Read more
