"A man without a goal is like a ship 

without a rudder."

Thomas Carlyle 

A ship is no good without a rudder behind it. Very similar to what a person is who has no goals in life. A man with now goals will go nowhere in life because you need goals as much as a ship needs its rudder. Goals are very important because it is what stirs you in life. Just like a rudder stirs its ship. Without this rudder the ship will go wherever the wind blows. Just like a person with now goals will not no where to go.  No good without goals, no good without a rudder. Goals are very much important because thats where you are set on heading. Just like a ship knows where to go with its rudder. People know where they need to go with their goals. Even though goals may seem small they are what stirs you in life. Just because the rudder is small doesn't mean it cant direct the big ship.
