when life hands you lemons, make lemonade!

How Not to Get Squeezed : "when life hands you lemons, make lemonade" IEEE Patent related advice from the very topical RIM court battle this month!!

By sheer serendipity, this lovely phrase came up in the community i liaise in regarding emotional intelligence and person centric coms, then it pops up in the space where im a VP in the IT industry and "Bobs your uncle" (as we brits say) they then give advice that relates directly to the mentoring start up work that i happen to do in my spare time. For startups; IP, copyright and trademarks discussions are key early considerations which always comes up with my mentees!

The linkage this one phrase has created recently is peculiar and verging on the deja vu for me!!

Still its a great phrase for my mentee's, colleagues, staff and all.
