A Group for Meeting Other LIfelong Learners in Beijing
I once had a friend who always said he tries to learn one new thing every day and that if we ever stopped learning we might as well give up and die. For some reason, that really spoke to me. Just because we’re no longer in school doesn’t mean the learning should ever stop.
Whether it’s pursuing an MBA program, learning a language, or tackling a new recipe, keeping your brain engaged and developing helps us keep our sanity in check.
For those who share a passion for learning, add TBJButler on WeChat to request to join the new Lifelong Learning in Beijing WeChat group.

Re: A Group for Meeting Other LIfelong Learners in Beijing
`suggest' is a verb. You can't thank me for a `suggest'. `Suggestion' is a noun. It means something that has been suggested. So you can thank me for my `suggestion'.尊敬的BauLuo先生您好
Thank you for your “suggestion”,and I am feel little happy and light in the hard moods,and get little relax. Because actually I am that kind of person who very relax and easy and glad. just because the situation I am be so.
I feel apologetic that you and others look me now (or now me)who in the very so hard and complex situation.
and I am a person who like others give me advices and suggestions.

My point was that there are so many machine translators out there, you need not waste your time translating like this.
The best machine translation, by far, is called DeepL ... you can find it if you look. Better than Google, better than Bing, better than Baidu. Generally turns Chinese into readable, mostly real English. English to Chinese I don't know well enough to determine. Usually I try and translate myself, but sometimes I am in a hurry.

Re: A Group for Meeting Other LIfelong Learners in Beijing
sha? you on drugs or sometin?%F7WHQFDon't be such a meany to someone speaking in earnest.I once had a friend who always said he tries to learn one new thing every day and that if we ever stopped learning we might as well give up and die. (UNQUOTE)
Pretty careless with other folks' lives, wasn't he? If I had a friend dropping thinly veiled threats like that, I'd take up learning Krav Maga and PPC (Practical Pistol Course.)
But seriously, it's ok---really---to begin an article without cliches about "Having a friend who..." and "...might as well give up and die." You left out alluding to how "crazy" life is, though. That and "the stress of..." Those are the mandated TBJ blog openings aren't they?.
I'm having my life threatened over not learning, and you stick up for Genocidal Jenny there? I shoulda known Canuckastan would start suborning forum-wide terrorism.

我知道自己不是完美的，我还能追求好的情感吗？我还能成为自己是谁吗？能成为想成为的普通的人吗？即便曾经我是多么罗曼蒂克和有几个缺点，但我经常做正确的自己即便在我处于无奈的不当中。
Why deeply affection and feeling be tormented in the long long long from long long long time maybe? even maybe people self don’t know that is ?
为什么很深的感情和感觉被折磨很长很长很长在可能很长很长很长的时间，甚至人们自己都不知道那是什么？
