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

Arnold H. Glasgow

Reflection: This quote really symbolizes what we need in our lives and what we need in our lives are goalposts. He says, “In life as in football, you won’t go far, unless you know where the goalposts are.” Goalposts represent the end zone the place that all players are trying to go. Life is a game and we are all playing whether we like it or not. In life we should have goalposts because without goal posts we would not have a reason to be alive or to get up in the mornings out of our bed. An example of having goalposts in our lives is getting up in the morning with excitement and enthusiasm for the day and thinking how am i going to get closer to the goalpost today. A example of not having a goalpost in your life is when a person just stays in bed the whole day not doing anything that whole day and being boring without enthusiasm and excitement. Another reason why we should have goalposts in our lives is because without them we would not go far in life as we would want to. “In life as in football, you won’t go far, unless you know where the goalpost are.”
