So everybody gets some lemons in life, meaning everybody gets dealt some tough cards. (It's interesting to think of as many plays on words as you can for getting a raw deal... hmm... future project?) Anyways, one of the most famous is: When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. However, for the longest time, and I am not sure where exactly I heard this, my motto has been:
When life hands you lemons, say, 'I like lemons, what else ya got?'
This may just seem like a smartass remark, but if you think about it, any answer makes sense - depending on your personality. Making lemonade is a sensible thing to do, doing what you can with what you have. Asking what else ya got, could be taunting, egging life on, or it could be learning to appreciate what you're given, even sour make-your-eyes-squint-and-mouth-pucker lemons. Even such a little phrase leaves room for such huge interpretation...
