I have developed a sudden interest in reading about Maslow's Need theory. As i was hunting for some info on this, i got to read about Murphy's laws as well. And this again took my entire interest. And here i share one of the stories of Murphy.
As Murphy's Law states that whatever can go wrong, will. Murphy was Ed Murphy, an engineer in the 1940s working on experiments involving the rocket sled. People were strapped into this gizmo, which ran on rails, and then quickly accelerated from a standing start to enormous speeds to see how much they could take. You may have seen films of someone riding in one, their face turning into silly putty under the force of the acceleration. Anyway, one day Murphy commented about a nincompoop of a technician who had miswired some equipment, that "if there's any way to do things wrong, he will." And it caught on.
By the way, the nincompoop, asked to write an apology, broke his pencil, accidentally tore the paper, got up to get another piece, and tripped and broke his leg.
So very true na, if something has to go wrong, it will. These are the times, u really wish there was an UNDO in life....;-)
With my thinking cap on 24/7. On my way to grow wiser and richer in wisdom and experience.
