“ In life as in football, you won’t go far, unless you know where the goalposts are.”

                                   By: Arnold H. Glasgow

This student success statement by Arnold is trying to tell us that we won’t go far in life unless you you set your goals and meet them. Metaphorically, those goals are the goalposts in football. Just like the sport, the ball won’t go far unless now exactly where the goalposts are and how far it’s from. As a person, you need to know how long are the goalposts are from you in order to meet the goals. For instance, if you don’t set your goals or not even meet them, you are extremely far from the goalposts. You need to know where they are to meet the goals. That is how to be successful in life. If you do know where your goalposts are and you write your goals and set them, you are closer than you think. You are close to meet the goals and accomplishing them. It is not only to meet the goals, but to accomplish them. That is what Arnold is trying to tell all of us. He compares our life as football for a better understanding about our goals. We need to set the goals, we write the goals, then little by little, we accomplish the goals.
