“If You Have A Lemon, Make A Lemonade
That is what a great educator does. But the fool does the exact opposite. If he finds
that life has handed him a lemon, he gives up and says: "I'm beaten. It is fate. I haven't

this misfortune? How can I improve my situation? How can I turn this lemon into a
lemonade?”
