The world is inhabited by people of verying termeraments, falling on a continuum between two poles, that I like to call The Artist and The Engineer.
The Artist is the one who goes out on the limb for the experience of it, and then, while there, decides if the limb will hold him or her up.
The Engineer checks it out, studies it, examines it to determine if it will hold him or her up, before venturing out.
The world needs both termperaments, and all those in between.
