"A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder."

-Thomas Carlyle

Reflection: I believe that this quote means that a man who has no goals, has no direction. On a boat the rudder steers the boat to whatever direction the helmsman steers it, it has a place it wants to go. If a man has no goals, they don't know where they're going and so they stay stuck in the same place forever. After high school you can have the goal to go to college and study for a career but if  you have no goals then you don't know what to do. You don't know if you want to work or study and so you're left with nothing and like a boat without a rudder you'll eventually crash if not steered. Having goals will let you get somewhere even if its starting small.
