These are people who see a domain, but not the path.

The fact that the path is not clearly defined is what excites them & motivates them.

It also makes them alert to a variety of inputs that can help them to better understand the domain & discover more promising paths.

Thus they are constantly balancing the need to move forward with the need in the moment to reflect on their experiences.

— Peter H. Diamandis & Steven Kotler, Bold (2015)
