I love the symbolism of the Compass. 

Knowing how to use a Compass means you can always find your way, no matter what. Maps can be difficult, showing only one or two paths in order to reach a destination. A Compass allows you to go in the direction you want, changing your course if you need to. It allows for you to get back on track easily if you lose your way.

As someone who has lost her way before and gotten off course (like WAY off course), I appreciate the possibility of finding your way back to the right path. It may not be the path that you originally envisioned, but it's the right one for you now, and it is probably better than the original one. (This is definitely true for me.)
