Today, i woke up to my lil bro! he woke me up today for the first time ever! I usually wake up at 5am to bring him to skool, but today i woke up really late and he woke me up instead. It was a nice change for once...But after that he got kind of mad at me and threw a couple of lemons at me with his angry look and impatient body language. I was really sad cuz he was so upset....i dont like it when my little brother is upset. My two younger brothers make me so happy! But when they are sad i feel ten fold of their sadness. I wish they knew how bad i feel when i see them sad. All i wanna be is a good older brother! And i know i often fall short of that...but im still gonna keep trying! If youa re a younger sibling....i just wanna let you know...that we elder siblings really care about you! even if we do fight with you and get mad. And fellow elder siblings, i know it gets hard when trying to get a younger sibling to listen to you but its okay. You just gotta make some lemonade. The thing is, I hate looking at myself in the mirror cuz i feel like i cant be a good brother but i want to be soo much. They are the world to me! I wanna be A GREAT older brother! In the end, despite all the fights and yelling and all the pain and all the LEMONS that we pick up a long the way and chuck at each other, it all leads to something. In the end, life is all about making a little lemonade. Ultimately we all got our own lemonade stands trying to make the best of what we got to earn some money with that lemonade.
To make that lemonade and to sell it at our own little lemonade stand takes some steps though. THeres a really simple but pretty hard recipe to follow, and if you like cooking or baking then im sure this will be easier to understand...and if you dont...then i dont know..haha listen anyways.
The first step is to get some lemons...and thats the easy part! lemons are just around the corner and they get thrown at you everyday by a bully or and angry parent....or a really mean teacher. All these sour, sad, angry, and unhappy moments are thrown at you from all directions. The point is, you have more lemons then you can handle on a daily basis....but hey, that means more lemonade and more money for you! The next step is making all that sour lemon a little less sour.
The second step is to get some water. With all that sour lemon juice, it makes it kind of hard to swallow and enjoy. BUt with some water, it helps dilute it and make it a little more bearble. Water represents time, with a little time....that lemon doesnt seem too sour anymore. That sad moment is in the past now! Time made it a little better.
The last step is the most important! THe third step is to add sugar! ANd its beter to add a lot! the sweeter, the better. Everybody has got a sweet tooth! Sugar represents good thoughts and speaking good things. The things you speak and the things you think strongly reflects how you will act. think good things and speak good things and your actions and how others react to your actions will follow. People will know you by the fruit you bare. We are all like trees, some of us are lemon trees while others are peach trees....anyways...haha
As you can see... a little sugar amd some water can make some pretty good lemonade. Those lemons you gotta deal with everyday dont seem so bad! Now all you gotta do is sell your lemonade at your lemonade stand!
The lemonade stand represents the world and whether they buy or not represents whether or not they will "buy" who you are. What kind of person are you? nobody likes a sour person and everyone needs some sugar in their lives. The question is are you willing to be that cool glass of lemonade for someone who is parched by the harsh sunlight of a summer day from the constant beatings and pain and suffering and lemons they face in everyday life? ARe you gonna make some lemonade for that one person in need? You never know whos gonna need it. MAke lemonade everyday so you can share it around and make some money!
That money....it represents happiness. So set your price! how much is that glass of lemonade gonna cost? 25 cents or a dollar? Just gonna give you a reminder...money cant buy happiness but who says you cant make happiness? Go make some mulah!
MAKE SOME LEMONADE! :D
"Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. Matthew 12:33
