Student Success Statement

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

Thomas Carlyle

Reflection:

This is a marvelous statement. It shows us that as a person if you have no goals then you will just be floating out at sea and will allow the wind to guide you. That is never the right way to live. We must have goals to know what we are aiming to achieve for. When a ship does not have a rudder then it is just drifting in the sea with no point. No one would want to get on a ship without a rudder. As well as no one would want to live a life without goals. When you live your life without goals then that is just a waste of time on your part. An example of this is if during a football game there is no goal posts. There will be no point is playing the game. When you have goals in mind then you will strive for success. By having goals you are allowing them to drive you to your destination. In order to accomplish your goal you have to work hard. Without hard work nothing good will be accomplished in life. Nothing great in life is easy. When you have goals you know what decisions you have to make to achieve your goals. Goals mean determination.
