Category: Quote Of The Day

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.

Shopping Bags

You’re a grown adult now. You can’t just assume someone belongs to you. Be prepared for them to walk away at any time.

🛍️💪🌅 Life is like carrying two big shopping bags from the supermarket. The handles dig into your palms, yet each time you manage to haul them home. What I mean is, it will all pass. // 日子就像从超市买两大袋东西，塑料袋，勒得手很疼，可是无论哪一次都拎回去了。我的意思是，都能过去。 Rì zi jiù xiàng cóng chāo shì mǎi liǎng dà dài dōng xī, sù liào dài, lè dé […]

Toxic Relationships

😔⚖️🚫 Those who have wronged you won’t feel remorse. Don’t wait for an apology that will never come. // 亏欠你的人，是不会愧疚的，你等不来道歉的。 Kuī qiàn nǐ de rén, shì bú huì kuì jiù de, nǐ děng bù lái dào qiàn de. // Khuy khiếm nhĩ đích nhân, thị bất hội quý cứu đích, nhĩ đẳng bất lai đạo […]
