If life gives you lemons, do with them whatever you want, but be creative! It's the one thing creation is all about: it's is no once upon a time event occurring, but an ongoing process that resulted in the Grand Overall Design that it is right now.
And if you didn't like lemons, you could also trade them for something else. I've heard of contests where people start off with some standard thing of low values, and they have an alloted to trade up. At the end, the contestant with the most value wins...
