Murphys Laws: Wilson's Law of Demographics to Wolf's Law of Meetings
(Murphy's Laws collected: 1583)
Wilson's Law of Demographics : The public is not made up of people who get their names in the newspapers.
Wingo's Axiom : All Finagle Laws may be bypassed by learning the simple art of doing without thinking.
First Law of Wing-Walking : Never leave hold of what you've got until you've got hold of something else.
Witten's Law : Whenever you cut your fingernails, you will find a need for them an hour later.
Wober's SNIDE Rule (Satisfied Needs Incite Demand Excesses) : Ideal goals grow faster than the means of attaining new goals allow.
Wolf's Law (An Optimistic View of a Pessimistic World) : It isn't that things will necessarily go wrong (Murphy's Law), but rather that they will take so much more time and effort than you think if they are not to go wrong.
Wolf's Law of Decision-Making : Major actions are rarely decided by more than four people. If you think a larger meeting you're attending is really "hammering out" a decision, you're probably wrong. Either the decision was agreed to by a smaller group before the meeting began, or the outcome of the larger meeting will be modified later when three or four people get together.
Wolf's Law of History Lessons : Those who don't study the past will repeat its errors. Those who do study it will find OTHER ways to err.
Wolf's Law of Management : The tasks to do immediately are the minor ones; otherwise, you'll forget them. The major ones are often better to defer. They usually need more time for reflection. Besides, if you forget them, they'll remind you.
Wolf's Law of Meetings : The only important result of a meeting is agreement about next steps.
