Another feature about this guy is his low threshold of boredom. He'll pick up on a task and work frantically at it, accomplishing wonders in a short time and then get bored and drop it before its properly finished.

The whole secret of a successful life is to find out what is one’s destiny to do, and then do it. ~Henry Ford

If the wind will not serve, take to the oars. –Latin Proverb
