Nowadays, we can use a smartphone to know the direction instead of reading a compass. Except for lost in the forest, we do not need a compass in the modern life. A compass is used for gifting like a souvenir.

Sean Corvey said: “Live your life by a compass, not a clock”. In my opinion, you can write his quote on your gift. For example, Jack Sparrow in “Pirates of the Caribben” always uses his compass for finding what he wants. I think Jack Sparrow’s compass is his passion, which will help him in the sea.

Therefore, Sean Corvey’s quote will remind your friend, who is gifted, about his (or her) passion and his (or her) dream.
