    If only someone had a serious answer.

    I guess my answer is:

    Find one good friend/role model to let it all hang out to, and then:

    Make the best of it and never let them see you sweat, because no one likes a crybaby, and no one benefits anyhow, not even the one crying.

    You spray paint em green and sell em as limes.

    “Hands you lemons” aint so bad,

    when life start throwing them at you, too hard and fast to catch…

    that’s a problem.

    Thank you ladies and gentlemen, I’m feeling very inspired?

    How about something like the Steve Jobs story-whatever you may think of him on a personal level, his perseverance at Apple is inspirational!

    of course, can you explain what you mean by “Find one good friend/role model to let it all hang out to, and then:

    Make the best of it and never let them see you sweat, because no one likes a crybaby, and no one benefits anyhow, not even the one crying.”

    Sorry, I don’t think I quite understand what exactly you’re saying here. Thanks in advance;)

    BSD, read Garden of Emuna. And then depending on whether you are female or male, please read the corresponding book Women’s wisdom or if male, read Garden of Peace.

    If life hands you melons, you might be dyslexic.

    #818176

    brotherofurs I believe that there is no such thing as Hashem handing out lemons. That is part of our perception problem. Believe me I can complain from “the lemons in my life” but I am trying to improve myself and realize that they are not .

    Gumball: dyslexia is a learning disability in which the brain scrambles letter. Lemons and melons are made of the same letters just some are transposed to the wrong place

    if life hands you lemons;

    lets tranlate –

    If hashem sends you a Nisayon:

    in the sefer Lekach Tov, in the volume Emuna Unechama, towards the end there is a story brought from r Chaim Vital zt”l that deals with such a scenarios

    if you cant find it let me know and I’ll post the page number, someone told me they printed it in english but i am not aware of that

    Also the sefer Ma’amar Mordechai by R Mordechai Shwab ha several Perakim on nisyonos and how to over come and make the best of them

    Hatzlaca
