That day I was browsing through a website sent by YSLim. It was a compilation of Murphy's Laws and other observations. I noticed that some of them really apply in our lives.
1. If anything can go wrong, it will
The most well known Murphy's law. All the other laws are born from this.
2. Great ideas are never remembered and dumb statements are never forgotten.
This seems to happen all the time. Chicken with no hands anyone?
3. Being dead right, won't make you any less dead.
Very applicable at work, when something under your charge screws up although it wasn't your fault.
4.Where patience fails, force prevails.
Just ask any mum how this law applies.
5. If anything can go wrong, it will happen to the crankiest person.
Like where a certain someone's order always arrives last or gets lost in kitchen land
6. Anything good in life is either illegal, immoral or fattening.
Pirated games, chocolate cakes...... sigh
7.The harder you work the more people there will be to claim credit except when it backfires.
Another law that applies often in the workplace. I can see some of you nodding your heads already.
Observation on Education:
"We can give you a diploma, but we can't give you a brain."
That certainly explains the many diploma/degree holding idiots in the workplace(hopefully I'm not classified as one of them)
Observation on Intelligence:
The difference between Stupidity and Genius is that Genius has its limits.
People doing IT phone support will testify to the accuracy of this observation. ( Reminds me of a certain someone who mistook the power button for the floppy eject button )
Observation on Rules:
It takes forever to learn the rules and once you've learned them they change again.
Its like how we spend the whole year learning up some software then a new version comes out. I think the same applies to law.
Observation on doing things:
You will find an easy way to do it, after you've finished doing it.
Happens often in Microsoft word, programming, household chores and also in the kitchen.
Remember, if you make it through a Murphy Day...you win! --> line blatently stolen from the site
