MURPHY..


Edward A. Murphy, Jr. was an American engineer. He was born in 1918 and he was the eldest of five children. He worked USA airforce and researched in aerospace engineering and reliability engineering. I think Murphy was an interesting person because he has a lot of interesting and real aphorism. His aphorism was accepted as law in 1958. He died in 1990.

One day, while Murphy and other engineers were making an experiments, one of engineer put a sensor on sixteen different points of a pilot's body. On the other hand, each of these sensor could be attached in two different ways and one way is true. This engineer succeed in attaching all of these sensor to wrong way. Therefore, Murphy announced his own aphorism.
 Some of general rules:
  • Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
  • If one thing go wrong in severeal ways, it will always happen the worst way.
  • One thing may go wrong and even if you keep from the posibility, immediately a new posibility will arise.  
  • How much time you wait, the things will come when you don't want . 
  • When you abandon from something, it comes back to you.  
I like some of his law:
  • Everything which fall down go the most difficult place.
  • If you fall down a bread with jam, the part of bread with jam comes to the floor.
  • While you prepare something and your hands are dirty, your nose scratchs.

  • If you call wrong number, it wont be busy.
  • At the cinema, people who sit in the middle of armchairs come the latest.
  • If you show a machine which not to work, it will work.
  • Fume of cigaret comes people who dont smoke.
  • If somethings are going on the road, there is definitely a wrong.
  • You work hard for the exam but the questions comes from place where you didnt work.
  • If you dont want to be seen, you will run across someone who you know.
  • .....   
  • According to Murphy, chaos is more possible than regularity.

    Having a healthy diet

    There are two essential positive effects of having a healthy diet on our body and mind. First of all, a balanced menu is very important for human's health because it includes vitamins, minerals, carbonhydrad, fats and sugar. They nourish human's body so immune system becomes stronger.
