People Who Are Just Trying To Make The Best Of Their Bad Situations

Life doesn't always deal you the best cards. But if you're going to find yourself in a situation that isn't exactly ideal, it's all about what you do to improvise, adapt, and overcome.

Every bad situation is simply an opportunity to spin it into something else, which is exactly what all of these people did. You're getting divorced? Time for a garage sale to make some money for the lawyers. The tree in your front yard fell over? Turn it into Halloween decorations. It's all about how you spin it.
