Explanation:

Successful employees have common and detailed career goals and plans. Those who do not, however, prefer to flow in their work lives. The person with goals has a strong internal motivation. They are not discouraged when they fail. It is difficult to separate these people from their work and distract them. A person with goals is already motivated for development. Most importantly, an employee with clear goals often has a clearly defined career and development plan, and he already knows what tools, skills and qualifications will help him in that sequence. A person without goals is like a piece of water moving in the direction of sea waves and winds. Wherever the wind blows or where the waves drive, they will go there.
