I've never really understood that quote.

I think this is a great quote. It means that you have a lot of control over your life. If you don't like your life, do something to change it. Don't like your job? Start looking for a new one. Don't like the area you live in? Start looking at other areas to live. Don't like your relationship/marriage? Think of things YOU can do to change it. (I read once that when we're unhappy in a relationship, we should first think how we can change ourselves instead of looking to fix the other person.)
We can't always change the events/circumstances of our lives, but we can always change the way we react to them. Keep a positive attitude, and everything will look better to you. So put on a smile, look for the positives in everything, and you will make your life and your world a better place to be.

To me, this quote means that if you live life to the fullest and no matter what comes your way, you make the very best out of it, then you'll live a good life. But if you always pity yourself or hate your life but you do nothing to change it for the better, than chances are your life will probaly suck. This quote reminds me of another quote that went like this, "It doesn't matter what hand you are dealt, it is how you decide to play your hand". I'm pretty sure Mark Twain said this refering to playing cards. You make the best out of what ever you are dealt with.

This quote means that since life is yours to learn from, it is up to you to make good and bad choices. Since life is yours only you can decide what you choose to do with it, no one else but you can tell you what to do with it or how to live it.
However you choose to live your life, so does the definition or the meaning of the quote change.

Life's what you make it literally means that you make your own life - all the experiences, actions and choices that you make as well as how you deal with all the things that unexpectedly fall in your lap, good or bad make up the components of your particular life and you can take it any direction you choose - good or bad. Choose well and have a good life, choose poorly and you will reap those consequences. It's as simple as that! Cheers.

If life gives you lemons, make lemonade! Basically we all go through ups and downs in life. If you constantly focus on the negatives, or lows in your life, you'll be miserable. Always look at the bright side of things. They could always be worse. Make sure your cup is half full, not half empty!

It means be active in making your life the best it can be. In other words, dont sit around and wait for something to happen, but rather 'make' it happen by working hard at what you want to become. It doesnt mean you wont have heartaches but its how you deal that counts.

if you chose to make the most out of life than your life is going to be pretty well off- there will always be ups and downs. if you decide i just hate life its just somehting to get through you're making your life miserable...so by saying i hate life you made it yourself that bad when it could be really good.
Make the most out of life you're only on the earth for so long

you make what you get in life......for example if you slack off during life and don't try hard in school or get fired from all your jobs, you make your life not as good as it could be. but on the other hand, if you try yoour best in school, go to college, start a successful, good paying career, you will make you life the best it could be.
Good Luck!

we all have opportunities in life. "Life is what you make it " means you either take advantage or don't take advantage of those opportunities. What happens next is what you've made through your decisions.
