Student Success Statement

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

Thomas Carlyle

I think that this statement is great and I agree with this. Without a goal, then you won’t know what to do. You will be lost in the sea and you will drift until you might find something you might not even want. You need a goal to advance and move forward. The goal itself is what makes you want to do something and it is what motivates you, without it, then you would just be a wanderer.

Goals

“In life as in football, you won’t go far, unless you know where the goalposts are.”

-Arnold Glasgow

I think that this statement is really helpful. This telling you that you need to know where you want to go before you even start. You need to know and you need to be willing to determine what you want. For example, if you start playing a sport, you need to know where the goalposts are or the place of score to win. You can’t start and automatically know where they are you need to search. Like you need to search for your own goals. When deciding where to go, you can either go forwards or backwards, but in the end it is all up to you, the decision maker.
