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.

Talkers are no good doers. -- William Shakespeare, "Henry VI"

Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower. ~Steve Jobs
