The document contains short quotes from various individuals emphasizing the importance of having clear goals and direction in life. Franklin Roosevelt talks about needing to sail towards a port rather than drifting without aim. David Ogilvy says to aim high rather than play it safe. Seneca notes that plans fail without a clear aim, as one cannot know which wind is best without knowing their harbor. Later quotes discuss being pulled by goals rather than pushed by urges, and that without knowing one's destination, you'll end up somewhere unintended. Michel de Montaigne concludes that the great achievement is living life with purpose.
