Now this is one proverbial phrase that has
been tweaked a lot for motivation and fun purposes. Those who know me, know
that even I have exploited this one a couple of times. But before we go into my
take on the phrase, let us understand the origin.
It was in 1915 when Christian anarchist
writer Elbert Hubbard wrote an obituary for actor Marshall P. Wilder and used
the lemon-lemonade connection for the first time. It was written to show how
the dwarf actor had risen above his disabilities and stayed optimistic.
