Come storm or shine
He has a cheerful philosophy of life that enables him, come storm or shine, to make the best of things as they are.
Hi,
Is it right to paraphrase the above as the following? Thanks.
He has an optimistic philosophy of life that he is able to make the best use of things whether it should storm or shine.
By the way, is "as they are" in the original optional?

Well, 'use' is definitely wrong. 'As they are' is an important qualification of 'things' in the first sentence. The idiom is 'come rain or shine'.
