Water: This constitutes a large part of the lemonade drink. Without this, the lemonade mixture is just a concentrated solution. Water, by itself, has no taste. Yet, in the lemonade it determines the quantity and the concentrate of the drink. In our life, we have a bundle of experiences. This is our water.

Sugar: Sugar is the sweetening factor in the glass of lemonade. If you add extra sugar, the drink is sweet; if there is less, your drink is sour. Sugar represents the joyful, happy, and positive moments in our life. Just as sugar charges us if we have too much of it, the positive moments in our life are our charging ports.

In our everyday experiences, the lemon juice consist of all sad and bitter moments. It may be the loss of a loved one, being sick at home, or even a fight with a friend. However, it is a very important part of our life. Just as the lemon gives the tangy sour taste to the lemonde, the sad moments of our life helps us grow and broaden our worldview.
