If life gives you lemons, make a lemonade !

 
I wonder if I am going to write this as a motivational post  This brings me to the first point how much a motivational post or speech or chat help anybody.  I have given and taken many a motivational talks and chats with family and friends , but they seem to have a small hangover of a beer bottle for a time being which rather than pulling you out of ditch gives you a feeling of temporary happiness. Hence, I certainly don't want to make it a motivational blog post . I don't know it is an easy task or not but will certainly try for that aim. The other reason I want to write this is , so that I can read it myself again and again.

Hence, coming to main topic of Lemons and Lemonade. Lets ask ourselves a simple question, if you have got lemons what you would do ? Yes, this could be a perfect question for judging a thought process/ creativity of an MBA interviewee where they ask what are the five uses of a pen cap or something. But what you would do, if you got Lemons . Yes, if I get to my tenth class science exhibition, it tells you , you can produce electricity from lemons but that is is only for exhibition or unless you are a Volta and that is not you won't end up using lemons for.  The idea is simple , you will make a lemonade like something where what you have got (lemons) , you would be using it as chief ingredients. 

The same is true of Life , we don't mix up things what we have got and we end up using our present life as salads for the yet to be arrived main course. We contemplate about how all these things or persons around us are better or not better than our past or future , than taking a full advantage of things at hand. When we go to restaurant, we may come back after some beverage/coffee which feels like a complete visit but if we end up having only salads in restaurant , does it makes sense?  Ask yourselves twice. 

It is as simple as that , if you can think of something very simple in this case why not make life simple instead of thinking about too many ifs and buts ! This may seem strange to a lot of people who know me and they can directly point out - Look who is talking ? but yes i want to make it for me as the first reader.
And one more thing to remember is no motivational blog or post can change these things for you, you are the creator of your fate, and the permanent change can only be through you, nobody else.

So what I am and you are waiting for , Enjoy the lemonade now forgetting everything !
