Murphys [Murphy's Law]

I. About the law of Murphys (Murphy ' s laws)
"Murphy's Law", "Parkinson's Law" and "Peter's principle" are called the three discoveries of Western culture in the 20th century.

The exact words of Murphy's Law are as follows:If There is, or more ways to do something, and one of the those ways can result in a catastrophe, then Someone would do it. (if there are two or more ways to do something, and one of these options will lead to disaster, someone will have to make that choice.) ）

To put it simply:anything that can go wrong will go wrong. (anything that can be wrong is always going to be wrong.) ）

Murphy's Law has a wide range of applications, revealing a unique social and natural phenomenon. Its extreme statement is that if something bad happens, no matter how small it may be, it will always happen and cause the greatest possible damage.

The discovery of Murphys's Law also has a story: Murphy was an engineer at the U.S. Edwards Air Force Base, and in 1949 he and his boss, Major stump, conducted MX981 experiments. The aim of the experiment was to determine the limit of human tolerance to acceleration. One of the experiments was to put 16 rocket accelerometers on top of the subjects, and there were two ways to fix the accelerometer on the stand, and it was incredible that someone methodically put all 16 accelerometers in the wrong place. As a result, he learned that if there are many ways to do a job, and one of them will lead to an accident, someone will do it this way. At a post-event press conference, Stump called it the "Murphy's Law" and re-stated it in a very concise way: everything could go awry, and it would have gone awry. Meffifa in the technology world because it is a matter of iron: the fact that technical risk can be changed from possibility to burst.

Two. The main contents of the Murphys law

The contents of the Murphys law can be summarized as follows:

1. Nothing is as simple as it seems;
2. Everything will be longer than you expected;
3. Things that make mistakes always go wrong;
4. If you're worried about a situation, it's more likely to happen.
   

Three. Revelation of Murphys Law

1. Attention to small probability events
To pay attention to the small probability event, the probability of the event is small, but does not mean that it will not happen, today does not occur does not mean that it will not happen later. If there is a real misfortune or loss, smile and deal with it.

2. Easy to make mistakes is a human inherent weakness
People are prone to make mistakes, and this is the inherent weakness of people, no matter how advanced technology, accidents will occur. And the more we solve the problem, the more trouble we face, the more we can't avoid mistakes, but we can't always make the same mistake, after making a mistake, we should summarize, draw lessons, correct the method, instead of trying to conceal it or find excuses and reasons.

3. Don't be blindly optimistic
Blind optimism is often a bad start, because of the blind optimism, so ignoring the small probability of the event, which for a bad start to bury the hidden trouble.

4. Respect the facts and observe the laws of nature
Everything has a regular, no matter what, should be realistic attitude to face, respect for the law of nature, in order to the greatest extent to do things well
