Murphy

Having a bad day…. bad luck.. Hmmmmm…..

Bad luck is something that seems to haunt people and I'm sure that all of you assume that you have the worst luck; nothing ever goes the way that you plan. I'm also very sure that none of you can exactly pinpoint where your luck goes wrong. Well I can. Your bad luck is a result of Murphy's Law; a law that affects us all. No matter how hard you try to escape, Murphy's Law will find you and turn things from bad to worse.

The most popular version of Murphy's Law is;Anything that can go wrong will;. From the most failsafe plan to the faultiest, Murphy's Law will make something happen that was not expected.

Does anybody know the origin of Murphy Law?...

Murphy is Captain Edward A. Murphy, engineer from US Air Force working on a project, designed to see how much sudden deceleration a person can stand in a crash. One day, after finding that a transducer was wired wrong, he cursed the technician responsible and said, “If there are two or more ways to do something, and one of those ways can result in a catastrophe, then someone will do it;.

Murphy's Law however is not just;anything that can go wrong will;, there are many different sub divisions within it, ruling over every aspect of life. There are laws over love,;all the good ones are taken;, medical laws;All bleeding stops, eventually;, to laws about learning;You never catch on until after the test;. Murphy's Law can even be taken into consideration when working on a public speaking speech such as this. Try to follow and remember your own experiences similar to this situation filled with fun examples of Murphy's Law. You sit down to do your speech and you notice your room is a toxic waste dump. Instead of doing your public speaking project, you must clean your room so you are in a comfortable atmosphere to do your work. This follows Murphy's line because whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first. Once you finally sit down to start, something always goes wrong, even as minor as your keyboard not working; anything that can go wrong will. Once you finished writing after multiple brain lapses and you go to print it out, your printer is not working.

Finally you give your speech, after practicing it millions of times, and come up too short or too long and you realize all that work was for nothing and your failure was due to Murphy's law.

These laws, although cheerless and ironic, add up to quite a lengthily list of funny stories to share.

The tragic part is that even if you think you are escaping Murphy's Law, just remember if everything seems to be going well, you've obviously overlooked something.

Now some people chose to put the blame on Murphy, other on the cosmos or whatever is in the heavens, God, the stars, Elvis, is the cause of this all. Why?. Well... that´s not important..

How can we escape Murphy's Law, that the real question; there must be a way. Unfortunately, there is none. One of the little fine prints in Murphy's Law is if you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and avoid these, then a fifth way, unprepared and unforeseen, will promptly develop. Much to the disappointment to everyone, this is the way life works, get used to it.

As cheerless as Murphy's Law is, you have to at least break a smile in the irony of the big picture. See the glass half full, be the exception that confirms the rule and in any case -> think of this; smile today because tomorrow might be worse.
