Student Success Statement: Thomas Carlyle

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

The significance of this quote is that you will not achieve anything unless you know what you want to achieve. You can’t advance in life unless you know what you want. It is like you wanting to go somewhere but you don’t know where you want to go. You have to be set to go somewhere in life. You can’t just walk or move, I mean you could but there would be no point. There is no point in life unless you actually know where you want to go. I feel as if you're just waking up in the morning to another day, but there is no point in living. You have to have your headset to go somewhere. That would be the start, then you would actually have to move forward. And when you get there, you would know that you achieved something.
