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

Thomas Carlyle

This quote means that you have to have some goals in life. You can’t walk through life and not have any goals. It is impossible not to have any goals. Even the littlest things, which you may not take notice of, are goals. For example, let’s say that you walked to your friend’s house and arrived there. Your goal was to go to your friend’s house. Whatever you want to do or be, you have to set your mind into it. Your goal is to achieve that dream. I wanted to graduate high school and make my mom proud because i'm the first generation here meaning that i'm the first one able to graduate high school. I worked really hard to earn all my credits and now I am 1 week away from actually graduating. Not having goals is like a ship not having a rudder in the way that the goals steer you to where you want to go and what you want to be. The rudder of a ship steers it in the right direction, so your goals should steer you in the right path.
