Journal 19: Nectar in a Sieve

"Work without hope draws nectar in a sieve,
And hope without an object cannot live.” 
I think this was a very well made quote, and I like the analogy that is used. I think that the quote means that working without a hope, or purpose, is useless, just like drawing nectar in a sieve, and having hope without an object in life, will not last long. I think that this quote is very true, and significant in the lives of everyone. This quote applies to my life a lot, because I don't really know yet what I want to do with my life when I grow up, so sometimes I don't feel like working, because I feel like it is pointless. For the second half, it also kind of applies in my life, because it is not enough to have hopes, but you have to make it your objective in life, to try to achieve it.
