  • Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Proverbs 142. The proverb today is when life

  • gives you lemons make lemonade. Okay, good. It's kind of an inspirational quote.

  • Let's take a look at the note here. This proverb is basically telling you that

  • you should make the best out of life of whatever you're given. We are not all

  • born with equal skills, talents, abilities advantages in life,

  • wealth etc. Were all born into different classes. Some of us are richer or middle

  • class or poor. We're not all equal as far as this is concerned. However most of us

  • are given some qualities others don't have. So even if you've gotten a lot of

  • disadvantages, even if you're you know not equal to other people maybe you have

  • some qualities you could use. You can figure out a way to turn it around and

  • use it to your advantage. So that's what we mean. This proverb is telling you to

  • figure out a way to use that to your advantage. This is even more true if you

  • have suffered more than one's share of difficulties or misfortunes. Figure out a

  • way. Figure out a way to use it. Maybe you could use it to you know, write a book

  • become an actor. You know a lot of actors actually look for experiences like this

  • and I think it they, they can find a way to express it. Use your experience of

  • pain or adversity to teach help or warn others. You know to avoid bad situations

  • or possibly being an inspiration to them. Okay. So this is what we mean. You know,

  • find a way. If you're given hard , hard things in life or difficulties in life

  • or unfair in one way or another find a way to use it and bring it to your

  • advantage. Make something good out of it. All right. Let's continue. Why do we say

  • lemons in this quote ? Okay. Lemons are suggestive of something that by itself

  • is sour. Most people won't eat a lemon straight. Or I don't

  • know, if you've ever tried but it's really bitter and it usually makes you

  • make an unhappy face. Like sometimes on the Internet they show this. Maybe the

  • first time they've given a little baby a lemon and see the baby's natural

  • expression. You know, He doesn't even realize it yet,

  • but he makes a ... we sometimes even say a sourpuss to mean an unhappy face. Okay.

  • Let's, let's continue. But you could take those lemons and turn them into lemonade.

  • Okay. Which is a sweet pleasant thirst-quenching drink. Or maybe also

  • healthy. You know if you don't put too much sugar in it. It's maybe, it's maybe

  • pretty healthy too. So you can take something that tasted bitter that you

  • know , would you know, makes you kind of cringe when you when you taste it. But

  • you could turn into and you can make something great out of it. Yes. So this is

  • what we mean. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Okay. All right. Let's continue.

  • This phrase was first coined by Elbert Hubbard. Okay. In an obituary he wrote for

  • Marshall Pinckney Wilder. Yeah. I think he was a writer and then the , the

  • Marshall Pinckney Wilder, I think was an actor who suffered a lot in his life or

  • had a lot of difficulties in life and he was referring to that. That he figured

  • out a way to take those difficulties and make something good out of them . All right.

  • Let's continue.

  • Vujicic I don't know. I'm probably not pronouncing his name right. He was born without arms or legs . He

  • didn't let it get him down. Okay. He used his disabilities to become a

  • great inspirational you know , a great inspirational speaker. You may have seen

  • him before. I think he's originally from Australia

  • and he went all around the world you know , saying how he figured out too you

  • know to have a way to have a normal life and you know, how he could overcome these

  • difficulties and try to encourage people. So again he

  • took something that was very difficult you know, being born with no arms and no

  • legs and figured out a way to make something good out of it. So we could say

  • he's a perfect example of when life gives you lemons learn or figure out

  • a way to make lemonade. Okay. Anyway , I hope you got it. I hope it's clear thank

  • you for your time. Bye-bye.
