"Fazer do limão uma limonada" (popular)


Explanation:
Este popular refrán puede ser traducido para diversos otros dichos en portugués, pero depende si el registro de su traducción, si es informal, formal o estándar.
El sentido es de sacar provecho/ventaja de una situación de caos, de conflicto con optimismo.
En Brasil decimos "fazer do limão uma limonada", "sorte de uns, azar de outros", "há males que vêm para o bem".
