EVERY CLOUD HAS A SILVER LINING

The idiom "every cloud has a silver lining" means that we should think optimistically because even a bad situation will have a happy ending.

 Example: "I'm sorry to hear you didn't get the job. But cheer up! Every cloud has a silver lining! You will find a better job."

    I love to learn this idiomatic expression, it's quite strange to hard to learn.
    Thanks for the help.
