I know, quite a title, but still not click bait, rather an attempt to humor everyone who will dare to read this, especially today, June, Thursday the 13th, 2019.

As such, I will leave the technical medical and scientific inferences to Prof Dr Emeritus Twack and I will focus on the lighter things here.

We are reminded by the "knowledge industry" gurus to keep in mind "pain points" when trying to assess our potential or current clients' needs and to come up with solutions thereto.

Having said that, since this is a comic relief post, I will go down that path, do not take any of it nor try to implement it as a wise formulae.

PAIN POINTS A DEFINED

Let us say, taking things to an extreme, that I live in a tent (not saying homeless nor making light of such misfortunate people) just as a lifestyle choice alike some homesteaders, off the grid, etc. people do, although not fully content and maybe wanting a change of that lifestyle.

Then, one late afternoon close to evening, as I sit around next to my loyal dog, I would wind up pondering how sweet it would be to live in a nice house with running water, electricity, appliances, flooring, protection from the elements, roof over head, out of the reach of forest creatures and monsters, etc.

PAIN POINTS A DEFINED
Next, I will start to list up the things I will need to be responsible for or deal with:

- deal with neighbors;

- obey government rules and taxation;

- pay home insurance;

- pay for pest control;

- pay utility bills;

- binging on Netflix;

- becoming a couch potato;

- getting a beer belly;

- having to walk the dogs;

- get a job and stay in it to earn money;

- get a car or take mass transit to and from work;

- get to work on time;

- putting up with commutes;

- cut the grass;

- shovel snow (in certain places)

- pay my mortgage on time;

I can go on, but I am sure that you can see how that line of though goes, right?

PAIN POINTS A vs. PAIN POINTS B - AND THE WINNER IS?.....READ ON

After all of that brain engagement in the outdoors, overwhelmed by how horrible life in a nice house can be, I rush to find my ferro stick to build a fire and stay warm for the night, thanking God that I can enjoy life in freedom, being my own boss and being responsible for my dog and myself without having to put up with the modern city life mess.

Takeaway from this silly story? Study the potential client's "pain points" and offer the best solution for them.

Moving on to the next topic in the post's title:
