"Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass. "

“漫无目的的生活就像出海航行而没有罗盘一样”

One cannot reiterate¹ too often the proverb,

这句谚语我们再怎么重申也不为过。

Only with a goal in view can we move in the right direction.

唯有制定目标，我们才能朝正确的方向迈进。

If not, we would be simply leading a meaningless life,

否则，我们会过着无意义的生活，

like a ship that has lost its compass and is drifting about aimlessly.

就像失去罗盘的船只会漫无目的到处漂流。
