“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade”

The title plays with the English idiom- it 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. Not only does lemonade taste refreshing and good, but it also implies a healthy drink – therefore a healthy attitude towards problems.
