Student Success Statement

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

-Thomas Carlyle

Reflection:

        I think this quote by Thomas Carlyle is completely true. This statement is true because if you have no goal then you have no plans for the future and if you have no plans for the future then you are lost and have no where to go. Just like if a boat didn’t have a rudder then it would have no plans and you be lost and stranded because it has no direction. But if you do have a goal then you have plans to go either direction and make it to your goal. If a boat has a rudder than it has direction and can make it to its destination. If you set your goal then you will soon make it to your destination and keep on going just like a ship.
