Spanish term

personas corcho y personas plomo

Spanish to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature self-help
En la vida personal y profesional, sólo existen dos tipos de personas, la personas PLOMO y las personas CORCHO. Tal vez haya simplificado y ya no me fije en si las personas son egoístas o generosas, buenas o malas, listas o tontas: para mi lo importante es rodearme de gente CORCHO, porque el corcho flota y el plomo se hunde.

Cuando en nuestra vida estamos rodeados de gente corcho siempre saldremos a flote, porque la gente corcho a veces nos volvemos plomo pero el corcho que nos rodea nos saca a flote, pero la gente plomo no se vuelve corcho y termina hundiendo todo lo que le rodea.

people who sink and people who float

I'd rather be a swimmer myself, but I do enjoy a lazy float on a hot summers day.

Like the "natural floaters or natural sinkers" cited in the linked article.
