About This Quote
He that hath the steerage of my course,Direct my sail. This famous Shakespearean quote was a response to a character in a play who exclaimed, “He that hath the steerage of my course direct my sail.” In other words, someone who guides you should be able to take over control of your life and lead you where you need to go. The person who has the steering wheel of your life should be able to guide you to your goals and dreams. In too many cases, however, people are being steered by others who have no idea or care about this person’s desires or what will make them happy.
The people steering another’s life can be destructive and harmful, but they can also be supportive and helpful. When a leader is bad for the company, a leader should take over control of the company and guide it toward success.
