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

Thomas Carlyle

Reflection: A person that has goals can see him or her in a good position where he or she is heading for life like a boat with the rudder it can steer to any direction the person has to go. Without your goals you’ll be lost and won’t know how to move from where you’re at.

Reflection 2: There are 3 people that have had achieved their goal by setting their minds to it since they were little. 1. A guy who can do tricks with fire and balance it very well. 2. A bean shooter he shoots rocks at things with a sling shot since he was 10 because they wouldn’t let him use a gun to hint for their food. 3. There are girls who can walk on top of an airplane they had set that goal when they first saw it on TV back in England. By seeing yourself accomplish that goal in the future can inspire you to keep on trying.

“I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.”

Sophocles

Reflection: this quote means that it’s better to play a clean game and loose rather than play dirty and win because after all you didn’t actually win or tried your best to win. It’s better to try something and be proud and have pride on what you did than to cheat.
