20 Times Smart People Made Lemonade when Life Handed Them Lemons

An author, businessman and motivational speaker once said,

“If you are willing to do only what’s easy, life will be hard. But if you are willing to do what’s hard, life will be easy.”― T. Harv Eker

Well, many people out there proving it right. They are showing life is no hard if you are ready to handle it. And, must say, only these people are responsible for development. Yes, if there were no such people in the world, then we might still be cooking food on fire in the forest. But some people didn't stop there and started finding easy solutions. And, in this way we are here in the developed & easy world.

However, instead of all such resources, some people go way too far looking for easier solutions. That is why there are several photos of people that get viral heating up a pizza on iron among other pictures of people finding life hacks.

So, if you are also looking for a general solution to a problem you are having, then here are some potential lifesavers from people who are too smart for their welfare.

Well, I don’t suggest eating this much cereal in one session, but surely a great idea if you don’t have a bowl. Go for it!

3. Chef Cooking in His Way

It’s another great example of someone showing how he has figured out to survive on their own.

An amazing trick, though! Also, it might work with some people, but only if they are not using any actual paper.

But my doubt is, which kind of class it is where you had to write a paper with 60,000 words and then water that experience down by cheating when writing that paper.

Roll in the aisles!

11. Homemade Spoon it is!

Don’t you have any spoons or forks? No worry, all you need is one hanger like this person. He/she might have no spoons or forks, so he/she made it with the closest thing at hand, a plastic hanger. Well, don’t think much, a hungry person does what they must!
