Perceptiveness

Perceive means "to see"; so, perceptive is a word to describe someone who is good at seeing. Perceptive is derived from the Latin word “percipere” which means "to obtain or gather." A perceptive person is good at gathering information and using his or her senses to take in the world. If you are upset but trying to hide it, a perceptive person is the one who will notice.

He sees every aspect needed to achieve success to the extent that he wanted to do.
