Once a traveler stopped at a crossroads. He asked an older man, where will this road take me? The older man turned around and asked, where do you want to go? The traveler said I do not know. The older man said, then take any road. Will it make a difference? What the right thing.
Will you sit on a train or bus that doesn't know where it is going? Certainly not. People will not sit on such a bus or train, then why do they get ready to walk without a goal in the journey of life?
On July 4, 1952, Florence Chadwick became the first woman to swim across the Catalina Channel. She had just crossed the English Channel. The eyes of the whole world were on him to know what happened next. Chadwick fought a thick fog, a chill that shook the bones, and many times struggle with shark fishes. She was trying to reach the shore, but she saw only a thick fog whenever she looked through her glasses. Because of not seeing the edge, he gave up. Chadwick was shocked when he learned that she was only half a mile away from the shore. She did not give up because obstacles had broken his courage, but because he could not see his goal anywhere. She didn't stop because of some obstacles. She said I am not making excuses. If I had seen the edge, I would have been successful.
Let's imagine that your football team is ready to play with full enthusiasm, then suddenly someone removes the goal post and goal line. Will the game be done then? Now there is nothing left. How will you score? How do you believe that you have reached the goal? Because the goal here is to score.

Two months later, she went back again and crossed the Catalina Channel. This time she kept her eyes on her goal despite the bad weather, and not only was she successful, but she also broke the men's record by two hours.
