When life gives you lemons, add tequila and salt

By Brad Goldstein

Book Overview

When I was in 5th grade and went to the school social worker for depression. The social worker pointed out to me a little nick-knack on her desk that said "When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade". As if saying, I just needed to make the best of a bad situation. Sounded like a load of crap to me when I was in 5th grade, and still sounds like a load of crap today. When you are given Tequila at a bar, you can ask the bartender for training wheels (lemon and salt). If you lick the salt, squeeze a drop of lemon in your mouth, and then take a shot of Tequila a funny thing happens. The Tequila isn't as harsh as it was. Doesn't burn when it goes down your throat, or upset your stomach. Being disabled can be like a glass of Tequila. It is painful both sometimes emotionally and physically. However if you can find something from life that you enjoy. Focus on that, rather than the negative aspects of your life. You can begin to enjoy life too.
