“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.”

Thomas Carlyle

      This quote means that if you you don't have any goals or plans then you are basically going to be lost in life and you won't know where to go. If you don't know what a rudder is then it is the little fan in the back of the ship that help it move to its desired location. I you don't have a location to go to or a destination to land at then you have no goals. In order to go somewhere you need to have a plan of how to get there and that's basically your goal. Your goal is what you want to do in life and how you're going to steer your life. But if you have not goal then you will just be lost and you will just steer your ship in circle and stay where you are because you have nowhere to go. Just like if you have no goals. This is why it is important to have goals in life and to accomplish them because then you will go places just like a ship. For example you want to get into college but you don't know how because you haven't set a step by step goal for yourself. Now you are lost and have nowhere to go so you decide to just give up. That's never the solution that is why you write down daily goals everyday to make sure you have your life under control just like the ship.
