it means you dont always get what you hoped for, but it can still turn out pretty good if you put the right spin on it.
maybe bamboo is overrunning your backyard (wild bamboo is really hard to kill), so instead of trying in vain to kill it, you can just take some and sell it (ppl buy bamboo plants all the time, just look on ebay). you've taken your problem and turned it into an advantage. hell..... after you've made enough money off of it, you could hire someone to get rid of all of it professionally.
its all a frame of mind thing, you just need to look for the positive outcome of something that seems negative at first.

When you ask someone to pick you up some oranges at the grocery store but they accidentally get lemonade, so instead of having a ice cold glass of orange juice, you have lemonade.

If you wake up and you'd been magically turned into a beautiful, sexy woman, you wouldn't have to worry about the rent any longer, or 'getting laid', or pretty-much anything. The only bummer would be, that ...you'd be a chick. just kidding.
How about that white trailer trash chick who married the 80 yr old millionaire ..

Let's say you have a passion for a particular sport. Unfortunately, forces more powerful than yourself make you participate in an educational course on... physics. You are able to use your knowledge of physics in this sport somehow.

If you get fired, use your new-found freedom to find a better job than the one you had.
