He who has a goal, knows the goal. He who doesn't have a goal, knows the field. Having a goal in life is very important. If you want success, you need a goal. That's why life is at times compared to a game of football. You're trying to get the ball into the goal ~ that is your aim and that is your success. In order to do so, you move towards the goal and try to focus on it at most times. If someone was to come in between the you and goal, you would get to know right away as that 'someone' has come in the way of blocking your view of the goal. But what would happen if you had no particular goal in life? It would be like having no goalpost in football. If you have no goalpost, you have no particular place to kick your ball. Then where would you kick your ball? As the case may be, you'd kick the ball any where you'd like ~ of course if you kept it put, you'd eventually get bored and resort to kicking it around instead. You wouldn't have any thing in particular to focus on, so you'd be able to observe the field around you. As you'd be kicking the ball and going behind it, you'd get more and more familiar to the field until you'd know the field as well as the back of your hand. It is, though, certain that it would get quite boring just kicking the ball and chasing it practically nowhere.
