Asim Qureshi answer’s is the most upvoted in this question, he answers:

Quora: Try this. Go to a cafe in a busy part of a city and take a seat that gives you a view of people walking past - perhaps a table on the pavement outside.

Now observe.

What you'll see is hundreds, and, if time permits, thousands of people busily walking to their destinations. Rich, poor, old, young, men, women, boys and girls, not where they want to be, trying to get to some place that they do want to be. When they get there, they’ll soon want to be somewhere else.

You'll see a struggle on most people's faces.

James Altucher wrote very thorough answer about this, so the summary of his answer is

Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, told me, “I’m pretty good at drawing, but not the best. I’m pretty good at writing, but not the best. I’m pretty funny, but not the best, and I’m pretty good at business, but not the best. But I’m probably the best at the combination.”

G) VISION Don’t read the news. 

Read a lot of books by smart people. Here are some starting points: Sapiens by Yuval Harari the Evolution of Everything by Matt Ridley Antifragile by Nassim Taleb Zero to One by Peter Thiel Tiny Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayed Thinking in Bets by Annie Duke

This way, the client knows that the message is a response to its initial request and can act accordingl
