BE FIRM TO TRANSFORM SOUR INTO SWEET

 

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.

 But the best answer is to keep trying not to stop and not to let your failures define how you live. Learn from your mistakes and improve yourself.

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.
