When life gives u lemons, make lemonade. Then, throw it in the face of the person who should've gotten you the oranges you orginally asked for.
What we do is determined by what we are. What we are is determined by what we think. What we think is determined by what we experience. What we experience is determined by what we are exposed to and what we do with that exposure.
(MIKE VANCE and DIANE DEACON)
Life is like a book with many different chapters. Some tell of tragedy, others of triumph. Some chapters are dull and ordinary, others intense and exciting. The key to being a success in life is to never stop on a difficult page, to never quit on a tough chapter. Champions have the courage to keep turning the pages because they know a better chapter lies ahead.
(RICH RUFFALO)
Because you're able to do it and because you have the right to do it, doesn't mean it's right to do it.
(Dr.LAURA SCHLESSINGER)
We are born with our eyes closed and our mouths open, and we spend our whole lives trying to reverse that mistake of nature.
(DALE E.TURNER)
You can have anything you want if you want it desperately enough. You must want it with an inner exuberance that erupts through the skin and joins the energy that created the world.
(SHEILAH GRAHAM)
We all have the ability. The difference is how we use it.
(STEVIE WONDER)
Everything is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied.
One person can make a difference and every person should try.
The one thing worse than being alone is not being alone and wishing you were.
Real difficulties can be overcome, it is only the imaginary ones that are unconquerable.
(THEODORE N.VAIL)
The goal in marriage is not to think alike, but to think together.
(ROBERT C. DODDS)
Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not, but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.
(EPICURUS)
When you look in the mirror, you are looking at the problem, but remember, you are also looking at the solution.
Live your life, so you don't have to hide your diary.
Dream what you dare to dream. Go where you want to go. Be what you want to be.
(CALVIN COOLIDGE)
The first thing of importance is to have confidence in yourself, in your abilities.
(KATHARINE GIBBS)
Become a 'possibilitarian'. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see the possibilities-always see them, for they are always there.
(NORMAN VINCENT PEALE)
DAVID COPPERFIELD just might be the greatest magician and illusionist of all time. He is definitely a legend in his own time. Here are some of his most inspiring quotes...
'The easiest thing in the world is to come up with an excuse not to do something. I found that the most important thing in life is to stop saying,'I wish,' and to start saying,'I will.'
'Before there can be wonders, there must be wonder.'
'Whenever I pursued my dreams, I discovered something astonishing-I discovered myself. My secret has been to consider nothing impossible. Then to treat possibilities as probabilities.'
'Passion is everything.'
'I learned that there were two ways I could live my life: following my dreams or doing something else. Dreams aren't a matter of chance, but a matter of choice. When I dream, I believe I am rehearsing my future.'
Miracles do not happen in contradiction to nature, but only in contradiction to that which is known to us of nature.
(SAINT AUGUSTINE)
The world is composed of givers and takers... the takers may eat better, but the givers sleep better.
Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
(ROBERT FROST)
Love is a fruit in season at all times and within reach of every hand.
(MOTHER TERESA)

So for an English party in school, I asked my mom to make a cake for me. Shes really talented in baking cakes! In school, I was waiting until lunch time so I could pick up the cake my mom made this morning for the party. When I went to pick the cake, I found out that it wasn't wrapped..but it was a box from the store. When I opened it, I noticed that it was a cake brought from the store! Just a plan cake which is very common around here. I don't really like those cakes. I got very angry.. and questions kept running in my mind "why didn't my mom make the cake? and why did she bring this crappy one?" I got tears in my eyes. Even though I got a cake, I knew people wouldn't like it. So during the party...guess what happened? NO ONE...not a single person! ate the cake.. :'( I did nothing but cry to myself. My dad payed lots of money.. it was a pretty huge cake! Not even my English teacher ate the cake.. I think my friends saw me crying. So 5 of my friends took a piece of the cake. But still, its embarrassing. Carrying a huge cake around with no one eating it. When I went home, I yelled at my mom. This was wrong. But I couldn't help it. I got very very angry. She said she couldn't make the cake..but its not my fault! :( I WAS Embarrassed. I yelled at her pretty badly.. that I don't trust her anymore and stuff like that. She got so mad, she threw a whole glass bowl on the floor, and it broke into pieces. I did the same, I banged the telephone on the table..now it doesn't even work. What do you think of this?? I know I made a mistake, but I couldn't control my anger since I was embarrassed. (link)

Well first of all, you were wrong when you shouted at your mom, i mean, there are many other ways that you could express your anger and hurt from what she did, and if you had talked in a better way, maybe then she could've felt guilty and saw that your right, but now you are so not right, cause you wasted your right by being wrong and shouting at her and throwing objects on the floor, you can never do that to your parents, there should always be respect.
And yes your mom might have been wrong about not doing the cake, but you really never know what she had, or what her reasons are, or maybe she really was busy, and maybe if you knew her reasons, you would've understood. And them not eating the cake its basically their loss and its good enough that you even brought anything for this party and shared something, and its only low of them if they don't appreciate it, no matter what the cake's type is, i mean, its still cake, and its an English party.
So my advice here, is to completely forget about the party incident, and maybe next time you'll have the cake you want and it will be a much better party, but this time you didn't and it was bad and embarassing, but don't embarassing moments happen all the time to all people? Like someone who throws a birthday party with the best 'cakes' ever, but then not ONE person shows up, it has nothing to do with the party or the cake or the host, it has to do with the people, and how they're too stuck up and low that they didn't come.
So apologize to your mother, tell her that you really crossed the line, and that your very sorry,and that you don't care about any cake or party,and try to ask about her reasons, maybe there is something, and it would be nice for you to be there for her, and then thank your dad for the cake, and for all the money he put in it to get it for you and make you happy. And hey, parents don't usually understand what we need or how we feel, or how that affects us in school or embarasses us, they think they're doing something good, and they have good intentions, but they don't know that they are really actually embarassing us. So be grateful to them and thank them.
Its just a fight and there are probably many fights yet to come, i mean, who doesn't fight with his parents, but you can't cross the line again or do like what you did this time.
Hope i helped, if you need anything else, please be free to contact me.Best of luck!
