I believe that life always has a way of surprising you, for better or for worse," he looks at me once more, his eyes holding mine captive in its strong hold. "And that you always have a choice as to how the story ends..." This quote is from an episode of the TV show "The West Wing" featuring President Bartlet. The main character, President Josiah Bartlet, is talking to his wife about their son Will. As the President talks with his wife, he is simultaneously thinking about Will's future life.

He says that he believes Will will be able to make great choices in this world because of his strong inner strength. He believes that Will will be able to choose which path he takes in life, and he will be able to handle the good and bad outcomes that come along with it.
