This epigraph reminds me of a Chinese proverb, which
basically means that you have do dare to dream, and practically work hard in
order to make it come true. This proverb and the epigraph give me the same feeling
and impression. If you work without dreams, things won’t be better because you’re
just like doing the same thing everyday like a machine in a random factory.
However, if you just keep dreaming, especially dreaming something that’s
surreal, abstract, or unable to be reached, not only that things wouldn’t be
better, but you’re also wasting your time!
In contrast, the connection between work, hope and
life is that you need to work with hope to get a life. If you work without
hope, it will “draws nectar in a sieve;” you wouldn’t get much. You do dream
without work, you basically “cannot live.”
I really think this epigraph reflects the essence of
life. I used to dream big, but seldom did sufficient works to meet my goal, and
therefore, almost never reached my dreams. On the other hand, on subjects such
as art and painting, I simply don’t have interests on it, so I barely got
anything from it, just like drawing nectar in a sieve.
