We all know that when life gives us a lemon, we can (should, will) make lemonade. Though the lemon is the most commonly tapped fruit for life lessons, others abound. The cherry reminds us to be thankful that most of life’s pits are small. The pineapple symbolizes hospitality and encourages us that when things don’t seem right, we can still make upside down cake. The kiwi reminds us that we can all use a little (lot of ) marketing help (this delicious fruit was once known as the Chinese gooseberry). The apple has so many positive connotations - apple a day, apple of my eye, and a technology brand embraced by the rest of my family (I’m as fanatic about Blackberry – another fruit – as they are about Apple) that we often forget the impact of a bad apple. Bananas show us that the good stuff is inside and we only slip when we focus solely on the peel.
And grapes are what we should aspire to be: great at every stage – fruit, fruit of the vine (wine) and raisins.
