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.

💭🌀💔 Who isn’t hypocritical, who doesn’t change, and who truly belongs to anyone? So why bother seeing some people and some things as so important? // 谁不虚伪，谁不善变，谁都不是谁的谁。又何必把一些人，一些事看的那么重要。 Shéi bù xū wéi, shéi bù shàn biàn, shéi dōu bù shì shéi de shéi. Yòu hé bì bǎ yī xiē rén, yī xiē shì kàn dé nà … Read more
🌿💫🍃 In life, you must believe this: What stays doesn’t require effort, and what doesn’t stay isn’t worth struggling for. Let things come and go naturally, don’t force anything. // 人一辈子，你得信这一条：留得住的不需用力，留不住的不需费力。来去随缘，强求不得。 Rén yī bèi zi, nǐ děi xìn zhè yī tiáo: Liú dé zhù de bù xū yòng lì, liú bù zhù de bù xū … Read more
🌍🔍💖 The denominator is vast, while the numerator is so weak. Uniqueness equals nonexistence. In this world, there are no two perfect halves that fit together seamlessly. There is only one selfish soul looking for another selfish soul. // 分母那么浩瀚，分子那么微弱。唯一就等于没有。这个世界上，没有两个真的能严丝合缝的半圆。只有自私的灵魂，在寻找另一个自私的灵魂。 Fēn mǔ nà me hào hàn, fēn zǐ nà me wēi ruò. Wéi yī jiù … Read more
