These are the 2 ways of dealing with things - and different situations demand either of them to get a result.
Spontaneity, Intuition - that's a quick way of doing things. Occasionally invoked in the presence of deadlines; it can be useful in getting a solution - albeit not the best one. It is perhaps a skill that needs to developed to deal with changing needs. However, not every situation can be solved in the anticipation of something spontaneous to strike in the mind - but if it does, there is nothing more pleasing at that moment of time...
Consistency, on the other hand; is usually attributed to other terms like dedication, continuous effort, rigor etc. It is needed to deal with things that are large - in relation to scope, space, time and more. Just being spontaneous does not suffice here, because there is that need for integrated and focused efforts efforts to achieve the big picture. Quite often it is said to be the recipe to success...
For any person; both Spontaneity and Consistency are needed - in the right proportions - to get the best out of him. More specifically, an Engineer(biased here because I believe I am one..) needs to be both spontaneous and consistent as the situation demands. For instance - the different decisions he takes in a project he does can be either of the two, as long as they aid positively in the progress of it. One other example would be this - Talking is spontaneous, but career demands some form of consistency.
But general human tendency is to be more on one side of the divide - either inherently spontaneous, or inherently consistent. One however needs to develop both to get stuff right. This is no Success Mantra - as I am a nobody to do that, but yet another of my insights.....
