“In life as on football you won't go far unless you know where the goalposts are”

I think it means since the goal of football is to score a touchdown and get the field goal it has the same meaning of goals since they both have goals and you both have to go for them and score on them. For example if you have a goal then you should go for your goal since it is the most important goal for you and you will be a good person so ctr Like in football your goal is to reach the field goal zone then once you do you complete your goal. Like my goal is to be a ctr person everyday because it makes me feel better and helps people and overall a better person and a better world for all of us and to help people. Dont let people let down your goal you go strive for it because it will make you a better person. For example football games require alot of goals and one of the goal is to make a TD and another one is to make a field goal and and not to make a foul and
