I came across this phrase on the wrapping of a Dove chocolate.  I thought that it is interesting, so I decided to share with you. 

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

So what does this phrase mean?

It means to turn something negative into positive.  When you are in a bad situation, try to make the best of it and turn it around.  Instead of letting it ruin your life, turn it into something good and meaningful.

For example:  If you got laid off, this may be a good opportunity for you to try a different career, to do some volunteer work.  Take advantage of it and do something different or something that you have been dying to do but do not have time to do.
