This quote from Dr. Seuss is both meaningful and poetic as you can see “shoes” and “choose” rhyme elegantly. It reminds us that we can determine the course of our lives and be the captain of our own ships.
In addition, this nice quote puts emphasis on integrity and holism in any individual, in which the brain (the captain, conductor or driver), the feet (the wheels or sails), and the steer (the heart or compass) should coordinate with each other for the whole person to move forward coherently.
