"In life as in football, you won't go far, unless you know where goalposts are."

         "In life as in football, you won't go far,                     unless you know where goalposts are."

This quote means that without your goals you won't get far. When you know your goals, you'll get far trying to achieve them. It's like when you're playing football. Without the goalposts, you won't know where to go or throw the ball to, so without them you won't know what to do or where to go. Your goals are what give you motivation to keep going in life and work hard to reach them. Without them, you won't know what to do and you wouldn't be so happy about going to school or working.
