"A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder."
{ Thomas Carlyle }
Should the idea of having goals be important? Not everyone shares the same interests, and certainly, not everyone values the same things. For some individuals, having goals in thier lives adds a sense of control and uniqueness. As for others, they simply think life should be treated as it comes. They don't have goals and they don't plan ahead. It is simply the way they are.
A ship without a rudder is idle and meaningless. A man without a goal isn't.
