Conclusion

Before starting your case think of different strategies Even if you are probably going to end doing your preferred option

Most probably it will work

If after a couple of attempts there is no improvement start thinking about second option...

Possibly it will work

If you tried the second option but it did not work, You should try option 3, however ...

It will probably not work
