How does Ne perceive opportunities?

I've been doing a little bit of thinking about the central/peripheral dichotomy. My understanding of the difference between how Ni and Ne contributes to this dichotomy is that Ni perceives opportunities as being fleeting and temporary, which contributes to the sense of urgency that central types have, ("Make your choice, before it's too late!") while Ne perceives opportunities as static paths can be taken at will, thereby reducing the sense of urgency for peripheral types ("You can make your choice at any time, why not sit back and relax for a bit?")

For obvious reasons, I don't understand Ne very well - this sort of approach to opportunities and "paths" seems strange to me. Is this a yay or a nay?
