I've Been Saying Something Similar for the Last Two Years. Sincerely, the Second Type.
From chrissstttiiine, a blog I stumbled on recently.--
My dad once told me at the boredom of his twenty-something yearlong thankless job that there are only two types of people.
“Only two”, I repeated to myself, “Only two”.
“The first type, the dying breed, are like your mother. Hard working, honest; people with goals.”
And then there’s us; the people who disappoint the ones we love, and are consistently distracted by those we shouldn’t be involved. These people carefully monitor their present, yet see no future. Good as they are, try as they might, they'll cease to progress. They'll spend their entire lives correcting their mistakes. It can't be helped, but it should definitely be avoided."
