Hi Everyone,
I want to tell all of you that Thick and dark clouds sometimes obstruct the sun. When it happens, the surroundings darken. It is not a pleasant sight. But if we look at the clouds carefully we can see that their edges are tinted with a silvery glow. This glow tells us that the sun is somewhere there behind the clouds.
As time passes, the clouds will move off and the sun will come out of it. This clever metaphor is used in the proverb to denote that sorrows and calamities are only momentary. Wherever there is sorrow, happiness will be somewhere nearby. Whenever there is shadow, light should be nearby. And whenever there is darkness, the bright light is near.
The proverb teaches us not to lose hope in the hours of darkness and sorrow. It reminds us to be optimistic and hopeful. It tells us not to lose heart because it might be just when we are about to quit that victory reveals itself. Like the silver tint on the edges of the dark cloud, happiness always lurks behind the darkest hour.

Every cloud has a silver lining. Its a true saying because obviously if a situation comes it either leads us towards our goals or guides us in every form. As life is a combination of both happiness and odds, one should never feel bad if hard time comes rather they should strengthen themselves giving themselves positive vibes.
We should always have a belief that every situation comes to make us and not to break us. So when ever we are going through tough situation in your life we should never say. "Oh GOD I have a big PROBLEM" but should always say "Oh PROBLEM I have a BIG GOD" and see THE MIRACLES HAPPENING IN our LIVES.
Enjoy every situation on life as it comes from GOD.

I completely agree with this proverb. A great proverb with a deep mining. If a thunder storm appears then the sky will get covered by dark clouds, there will be heavy shower. But it is temporary, not permanent. The sky will be cleaned and the sun will rise.
Clouds means difficult phases in our life and silver lining are rays of hopes. If we face problems then there will be solution as well. It's on us to remain calm and gain physical and mental power to handle the situation. If you don't have failure in your life and you will never be able to understand how it feels when you achieve success.
There are many such examples - like APJ Abdul Kalam, Dhirubhai Ambani, even when you see in past you will find many such personality like Thomas Edison who failed 1000 times before actually inventing an electric bulb, Walt Disney who had once fired because they think he had lack of imagination.
If you are difficult situation face it but never back down, work hard, learn from your mistake, never make them again, and find your goal. So it is true that every cloud has a silver lining.
Conclusion : Life is not about getting only success it's actually about learning from your failure. Everything happens for a good reason we just need to work hard and stay positive.

Every bad situation has some good aspect to it. This proverb is usually said as an encouragement to a person who is overcome by some difficulty and is unable to see any positive way forward. Every cloud has a silver lining means that you should never feel hopeless because difficult times always lead to better days. Difficult times are like dark clouds that pass overhead and block the sun. When we look more closely at the edges of every cloud we can see the sun shining there like a silver lining. Looking at the positive side of things even when difficult times are present. When trying to cheer someone up who is feeling down, someone might use this phrase, then follow it up by saying something positive Thick and dark clouds sometimes obstruct the sun. When it happens, the surroundings darken. It is not a pleasant sight. But if we look at the clouds carefully we can see that their edges are tinted with a silvery glow. This glow tells us that the sun is somewhere there behind the clouds.

In my point of view this is true. We all have problems in our lives. We should face that with courage. We should remember that if we win, we can lead, but even if we lose we can guide. So both the time there is a positive side of the problems. I want to tell you that no one will manufacture a lock without a key, same way god will never give you a problem without a solution. So there is always a silver lining in the darkest of cloud.

According to me. It's a generalized topic which we can see it in our lives.
And many people set good examples of this.
This proverb "EVERY CLOUD HAS SILVER LINING" is given by John Milton. Which mean you can derive some benefit from every bad thing happens to you.
Every bad situation has some good thing in it.
This proverb is said to a person who is in difficulty and couldn't find a positive path forward. We should not lose hope in any bad situation because difficult times always lead to better days. Compare that difficulty with a dark cloud and. The silver lining with sunshine.
When. Sun Ray's are blocked by dark clouds that doesn't mean that. We can't see the sun Ray's.
As time passes clouds.
Will move off and the sun comes out. Giving a rise of hope that. Every bad situation has some good in the clever metaphor is used to denote sorrows and calamities are momentary whenever there is sorrow. There is happiness nearby.

As the topic is every cloud has a silver lining. We know that life consists of both ups and down. According to me, everything depends on how we examine the situation. Whether it is a success or failure if we think in a positive way then all that we think is the failure is also a success. Also, everyone should be aware of the quote that every failure is on the way to success.
Let me tell about my friend who is always discouraged by friends and teachers in the school that she cannot do well in her academics but she tried hard with whatever knowledge she has got and at certain time she has got admission into one of the top college i.e., IIT and then now she is in one of the top students in the college. In her case, luck has acted as a silver lining which changed her life. So, we should wait for a success which comes one or the other time.

It is true. In my point of view, every person should go through darkness phase. Just imagine what if you are life is going so smooth then you can't learn anything. You can learn many things When a person experienced a bad situation in his life. At a point, we become disappointed helpless hopeless but what you need to do is stay strong and learn from your bad experiences. They make a person very strong physically and mentally. So never expect life to go as you wish. Be ready to face the challenge and show how strong are you.

2) Every happiness that we enjoy is a result of our hard work. Only true hard work and perseverance will lead us to something good in life.
3) Cloud when compared to a human being and the silver lining to the goodness in him we can say that there is something good in every human being.
