the 2 types of people

so i cant sleep... as much as i've tried to. Having a splitting headache. I wonder if the splitting headache is causing a gush of ideas and thoughts or the other way around... I think too much literature-research and reading has made me 'over-analytical'. Well, 'over-analytical' in relative to my normal state of mind. So I'm randomly thinking of this.

There are 2 types of pple in this world (or rather in 'little Mr S.'): the procrastinator and the change-maker. Basically, the earlier 'talk' and the latter 'do'. The procrastinators or rather 'talkers' often identify sociological phenomenons and sensationalize them. Take for example the recent media interest and discussion over rising prices by 'little Mr S.'. This includes media interviewers with producers and consumers, in the form of discussions on how they cope with the rising costs. At the end of the day, it becomes a feature on 'where to find the $2 chicken rice in 'little Mr S.'. Otherwise, the recent survey on 'little Mr S.' service-standards (as reported on ST a while ago) is heavily criticized by locals on it's over-estimated results. This ends up with people calling into radio stations to criticize on 'poor' and 'rude' service at hawker centers, when they simply cant understand the concept of 'value-for-money'.

On the other hand, the change-makers act upon such procrastination. It is probably impossible not to find a trace of procrastination in these 'change-makers'. However, we would expect them to act upon procrastination. Or rather, procrastination may be a way of brain-mapping the action plan.

I've learnt that there is a limit to procrastination (well, probably not so for some pple aka 'friendly drivers of the pay-to-sit services'). I was(n probably still am) one of these procrastinators. It seems like procrastination is an inseparable form of identity as a member in 'little Mr S.'. Procrastination becomes plausible for everything in 'little Mr S.'. It has even become a social-process, an infectious and contagious one that is. I've come to grow tired of procrastinating. It started out as something 'intellectual' (yes, wishful thinking on my part). Then, I realize that I'm no different from the procrastinators in the rest of 'little Mr S.'.

So let us see what my wonderful NUS tertiary education has educated me in the last 2 years and 3 months. Sociology teaches me to procrastinate, Social Work teaches me to mediate a (social) problem, Psychology teaches me to act & solve. That probably explains why I'm a psychology major.
