Far sight

when so ever I read about great people one thing which is common among them is "Great far- sight". Things which are yet to happen or will happen they had the picture of the things to come. I wonder how they see the unseen.Its not the sixth sense or is it?But perhaps Now I am understanding how its to be acheived. when we are observant about the world around us in its tinest part this weaves the picture with help of our understandings we fill the texture ,color and give shape to it. And guess whats the base of this understanding.... to be a good human being who is able to extract the real juice out of physical world around you , problem is when you start understanding the uselessness of this physical world and see" less is more" . Soon time will come to be a Monk for me .Do I want to be? The quetion if answered will free me of bondings.
