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

-Thomas Carlyle

A rudder is  hinged vertically near the stern of a boat or ship for steering. Without the rudder a ship wouldn’t be able to advance and the ship would just remain there going nowhere but only to where the waves drag it. What this quote means is that you must set goals for yourself. A ship with a rudder gets to go anywhere but they must know where they are heading. So why not set goals, plan out what you want and the steps you must take to accomplish your goals. As i say , anything is possible if you keep on trying but you must set goals in order to reach your full potential. For example let’s say you want to become a registered nurse. There’s so many steps to that. You have to set your mind to what you want. This includes studying, memorizing, training and years of education. When you set these goals you will see that hard work pays off. Everything takes time and practice. You will reach your destination just how ships with rudders do. Never give up on what you want and write down your goals at all times.
