“Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes.”—the film “The Count of Monte Cristo,” directed by Kevin Reynolds (Touchstone Pictures, 2002).

Every life ebbs and flows between calm waters, shifting currents, and, at times, tempestuous storms.
