My father told me it's what they tell naval helmsmen and told me the same when teaching me navigation and operation. (May be a little outdated these days)
But, figuratively it's the greatest advice he ever gave me and it's kind of our family motto. (That and 'learn by doing'
)
I guess, it's more of a way of life than a meaning of it (if that makes any sense)
The idea of be focused, in control and while life seems to be pointed in one direction, for better or worse, it isn't. Your next way point is where you are looking and ultimately steering.
It's also a tribute to him that his motto be slathered all over the Internet - 
Kudos to your family for adopting a philosophy such as that.
As a boater, it did not make a lot of sense to me, as I rely a great deal on the boat to lead me and my decisions. That and the weather, lol.
But we are talking about two different things.
Thanks so much for taking the time to answer.
Here's to your father.
