esperar o inesperado

Indeed, the saying taught us so and some of us chose not to make preparations for it while some of us did. But just how much can we prepare?
Nothing is ever enough; that's how I see.

On paper and verbally, we can paint the most beautiful picture ever; covering all angles and ensuring all loopholes are provided for.
But as the army has taught me, Murphy came out with a law of his own; something just have to go wrong somewhere somehow. Let me introduce to you, Murphy's Law. :)
Now do not ask me who, what, when, where and why about it.

Then there are the contingency plans, waiting to kick in once Murphy visits.
Situation awareness, quick-thinking and rapid reaction response will activate them. Abandoning the works of the beautiful picture, to ensure we have a sketch at least. Saving the blushes.

However, despite the countless times going through the plans, something totally unexpected will take its course. Such as certain screw-ups in the midst of executing a contingency plan, maybe.
There is no escape it seems.
Brace yourself, expect the unexpected.
