'When life hands you lemons', there's a variety of paths you can take. There's the usual 'make lemonade', but is that lemonade only for you, or are you starting a for-profit lemonade stand? What about baking a lemon meringue pie? You could slice it and let your kids lick it and enjoy the pucker face they get. You could just throw the lemons away. If you let them sit around long enough, they'll mold and rot.
What if, after squeezing the juice out of the lemons life handed to you, you plant the seeds and grow a few lemon trees? Then, after a few seasons, you harvest a whole bunch of lemons and grow your lemon empire.
Whoever said money doesn't grow on trees must never have had the lesson of the lemon.
