July 05 My life in Chinese Keeping up with my Chinese studies. Below are my favourite sayings, now in Chinese. Once I started asking sifu and friends to help with translation, I found that for any Russian or Western proverb there is at least one that existed in China thousand years before it came to a Western mind :-) 跑了和尚，跑不了庙。You can take a girl of of Essex, but you cannot take Essex out of the girl. 逆水行舟，不进则退。Must keep running just to stay in one place. 见缝就钻 Make most of every opportunity. 看破红尘 Disillusioned with the world of mortals. 要小心的成功，一旦你失去你的野心你也失去意义/兴趣。Be careful what you wish for, it may actually come true... 落叶归根 A falling leaf returns to its roots... everyone has his ancestral home. 学无止境 You leave and learn. 天跌落來當被 冚 When the sky falls down, just pretend it's a blanket. 要欣赏一切，但不依恋任何东西。Appreciate everything and attach yourself to nothing.
