Student Success Statement: Thomas Carlyle

Student Success Statement

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

Thomas Carlyle

Reflection: What Thomas Carlyle means in this quote is that if you have no goals you will not go the direction you want like if a boat without a rudder won’t go where you want the boat to go. When you set a goal you must focus on it till you accomplish is it. Once you set a goal if you really want to accomplish it then keep on working hard each day to accomplish it. If you do not work hard on your goals you will just go straight forward like a boat does without a rudder.
