"In life as in football, you won't go far, unless 

you know where the goalposts are"

-Arnold H. Glasgow

You won't go far in your life if you don't find out which direction you're going in, where you're heading. Those are called goals and direction in life, knowing where you're going and what you're trying yo achieve is like finding the end zone in football or the goal in any other sport.  It's important to know where you're going or you could end up like a boat without any sails, a boat flowing with the wind. You always wanna have a vision know where you are going all the time, which is why it is important to set goals for your self. I myself have a made a goals journal and set goals for myself so I know which direction I am going in, I know where my goalposts are. Always keep yourself on the right path the good path, the path that will lead you to success. If you manage to fall  of this path then that's when you'll begin to lose sight of the goalpost. It's extremely important to make sure that you never lose sight of your goalposts. Continue to keep moving forward and try your best always, keep moving forward, don't falter, like a centipede. Always strive to your goals and make a direction for yourself, follow your path towards success.
