Some are humorous and witty, such as, "I don’t watch the news; I think, if there’s really any major event happening, someone would call me." Others are concise and profound, offering a shift in perspective, such as, "It is easier to love humanity as a whole than to love one’s neighbor." (). Whether it’s famous quotations or the wisdom of ordinary people, whether it’s reading a couple of sentences after tea and dinner or using it as a serious study material for English learning, this book is one of your easy choices. "Want your friends to always think of you? Borrow something from them." "The advantage of getting a loan is that you provide enough proof that you don’t need it." Sometimes, just one sentence can brighten our mood for the day or give us enlightenment in life. The Brilliance of Ideas, featuring 400 exquisite Spanish sentences with Chinese-English, lets you gain wisdom through laughter and adds fun to language learning. Here, you’ll find four hundred ideas, some originating from the West, either great or ordinary, yet all absolutely brilliant in thought. Some can ignite your laughter, such as: the racecourse owner naming his most prized horse "Bad News," reasoning that "Bad News" runs the fastest! Others can shift your perspective, such as: extinction is eternal, so full of crisis means we don’t have time. Some can even influence your life, such as: living as if you are about to die and as if you are immortal; thinking as if you know nothing and as if you know everything.
