You forgot the most realistic one:
Find a job. Get along with your peers and boss. Get a promotion. Have
a family. Raise your kids. And die!

But seriously,
Figure out what the user wants in H/W and S/W. Present a complete argument
for your solution. Spec it out and have the user sign-off on it. Start design
and analysis. User changes his mind and start all over again. Implement this
and test. Install at user site. All this was to be done last year, and for
$100.00....
