I'm not sure about better or worse but if you work hard and are unable to dream I think it is the sadder of the two. I think a dreamer could always put forth a greater effort to see their dreams fulfilled but one who can't dream will always be stuck working hard and not getting anywhere.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
