When Life Throws You Lemons, Make Lemonade

Once you've learned the truth about life,

continue to care for it and love it.

I think we can all agree that life isn’t easy. 

It’s filled with ups and downs, hardships and successes, setbacks and milestones. And to get ourselves through all of those experiences, 

it’s important to we develop an optimistic, positive, and life-loving heart to support us.

A delivery guy collided head-on with another man on a motorcycle.

The case full of beer smashed all over the floor.

Instead of arguing, the two squatted together on the road, picked up the unfinished bottles of beer and drank them.

A truck driver was carrying a heavy load of watermelons to be delivered and lost control over the slippery road, which cause the truck to flip and smash everything along.

But instead of panicking and thinking about the amount of trouble he may be in, he sat on the side of the road and treated himself to several watermelons. After all, it’d be a shame to let those go to waste!

A 43-year-old  decorator in Shanghai squatted in the subway to connect to free WiFi and video chat with his family via WeChat.

Because he has to pay for the rental network, he goes to the subway station to connect to the WiFi and save money.

All he truly cared about at that point was to look at his family and let the emotions sink in.

A man and his friend were driving to a dinner party when suddenly, their car overturned on the road.

Luckily, the two of them were okay. In fact, they decided to take a photo of their holding the license plate that had fallen off and smiled, appreciating life for getting them out of this accident alive and well.

A fire broke out inside the home of a young couple in Guilin, Guangxi. As anyone in this situation would, you’d think that they would start panicking and call the fire department to come to their rescue… But they did not.

Instead, they took care of the fire themselves and uploaded a couple of imaginative and funny photos from the scene on social media.

They reminded everyone that fireproofing in the winter is important and that we should face everything with a smile!

A disabled sanitation worker with only one leg has overcome of lot of adversity and made peace with his own life’s imperfections,

He decided to take full ownership of his fate and lives a decent life earning his income from the production of his own labour.

No compromises with the world, no defeat. Just hard work and determination.

A heavy snowfall in Luoyang, Henan province, earlier this year shut down public transportation.

Zhao, 60, a migrant worker, did not want to take a taxi and pay a huge fee for it, so he hiked 40 kilometers carrying all his belongings back to his home.

Because he's old, he only earns RMB 2,000 a month. This money-saving adventure allowed him to buy his wife new clothes for the New Year.

When he was asked whether he felt really cold during his hike, Zhao answered happily: "It's all right. I actually feel warmer and warmer when I walk."

It's cold this winter, but the heart on the way home is warm.

Nobel Prize winner for literature Romain Rolland once said: 

"There is only one heroism in the world: to see the world as it is, and to love it."
