Procrastination has set in and we are in the middle of a fishing trip. A fisherman needs the right bait‚ equipment‚ and location to catch that perfect fish. One may be sitting in the boat holding a fishing pole (short cuts do not solve problems)‚ but epistemology is everything. Different parts of this equation are what bring together an awesome framework. Let us go back and evaluate this scenario.
