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

By: Thomas Carlyle  

This statement by thomas carlyle means that we need goals. With our goal it is a guiding force and leads us in a good way. We all need goals because without them we are lost. We are as lost as a baby with no light at night. The goal is the light and leads us in a good way. When he says that we are like a ship without a rudder he means there is no way that we can lead a good life. The rudder on a ship is the guidance for the ship to arrive ats its destination. It is the little fin that helps it move . our goals can be the little fin that helps us move. It will help us move in the good way.
