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

By: Arnold H. Glasgow

What this quote means is that when you want to go far you need to think like if you are going to make a touchdown. For example, when you are playing football and you are going to make a touchdown then you think about it as if you are in school and you are being successful. This quote means that whenever you are in school and you think of something but it is really hard you have to think like if you are tackling and running so you can make a touchdown. Others may not know what this means but let me just put it simple if you don’t know where the goalposts is in life they you won’t go far because if you don’t know you are not going anywhere in life only if you try hard and make it seem like when there is a hard question you think about a goalposts at a football game. This also means that when you are at a football game and someone is about to make a touchdown you just think about school because without a goalposts there is no success and with goalposts there is success wherever you are even at home watching a football game. You never know when you will make a touchdown. Just remember that without a goalposts there is no succeed and you won’t go far. Arnold was right because what he is saying is also that if you don’t know where the goalposts is then you won’t go far in life unless you know where is the goalposts and you know that once you know where it is you will go really far in life.
