Were you working full-time on nothing? Were you working full-time on something which yields nothing?
i believe that if you were  incapable of doing something  to achieve your goals at your current state now, you won’t be able to do something on your dreams or where your path may lead you to.  It is not true that you may be able to do more when you are in the position.  In fact you may do less or your may end up doing nothing. emoticon
