When life gives you lemons,
You make lemonaid.

When life gives you fear,
You don't give into it.

When life gives you an oprotunity,

You take it.

When life gives you pain,

lick the blood off your lips.

When life gives you a chalenge,
You face it head-on.

When life gives you a friend,
You give them your heart.

When Life gives you death,
You look it in the eyes and Smile.

OKAY! So this is pretty self-explained. It's what everyone SHOULD do, but never do it all. (Including me)

I like it! There were a few grammar errors, but the meaning was good. :)
