The proverb “When life gives you
lemons, make lemonade” is understood to have been coined by the American
writer Elbert Hubbard in 1915.
Idioms are phrases or expressions
that have a different meaning from the literal definition of the words used. In
this case, 'When life gives you lemons, make lemonade' is a figurative way of
saying that when faced with something negative or difficult, you should
try to turn it into something positive or beneficial.
When life gives you lemons, make
lemonade is a proverbial phrase used to encourage optimism and a positive
can-do attitude in the face of adversity or misfortune. Lemons suggest sourness
or difficulty in life; making lemonade is turning them into something positive
or desirable.
When life gives you lemons, what
do you do with them……..
First of all, it’s tough to handle and not
that easy to make lemonade.
Seriously, life is hard. Bad
things happen, setbacks happen, and things don't go our way.
Again, all this is easier said than
done.
Ultimately we need to face and overcome
it.
The message behind this
quote encourages optimism, hard work, and excellence. It teaches that
while life doesn't always go as planned, to make the best that you can out of
your situation and reiterates the correlation between continuous hard work and
excellence. It encourages one to prevail and succeed beyond the standard.
As we grow and age we understand the
idea behind the adage and try to make our life as best as possible.
We will slowly realize that If our
day didn't turn out the way we had hoped, that's okay. Just adapt, be
grateful, and keep going with the day we have.
The sentiment is well-meaning.
People who tell you to make lemonade generally want to inspire you to make the
best of a bad situation.
Finally, Lemons are an opportunity
for change, creativity, and the transformation of sour into sweet. The quote
implies you turn something yuck into yum. However, lemons are just lemons until
you do something with them.
