Multiple potential contacts/sources for the same thing

3) Alternate goal that achieves the same overall purpose
Either way, if things don't go your way, you could be doing the same thing within the hour
15
Experience
When you've dealt with a similar problem you're more likely to come out on top if it comes up again, regardless of how it turned out the last time. But you can research that situation and find others experience or also bluff through this by creating a story that endowed you with that same experience (gives you credibility)
16
Posture
A key component
Lead into the room with your torso and the bridge of your nose in sight
17

Approach them afterwords
24
When confronted about a dark time
"You see, most of the really exciting stories in this world will tell you about the guy who almost got to the top before things started going imperceptibly wrong: the archetypical tragedy- (your Hamlets, your Eddie Spinolas, your Walter Whites). But I find the rags-to-riches archetype far more interesting; and your at the introduction, not the conclusion. Next time wait til the story's finished before you write your review, okay buddy?"
