How to make Lemonade when Life gives you Lemons?

You must have heard the proverbial term ‘When life throws lemons at you, make lemonade’ to motivate yourself to overcome a difficult situation in life. The idiom is not carried out to guide you in the making sweet and sour lemonade, rather helps you to come out of an adverse situation.

The popular idiom was formulated by ‘Christian anarchist’ writer Elbert Hubbard in 1915 obituary which he had written down and published for Marshall Pinckney Wilder who is an actor. The idiom has helped those people who are not willing to lose hope easily and struggle to come out of tough circumstances. Though, it is believed that the saying is much easier said than done anyway.
