Arthur C. Clarke’s laws of the office
Reposted From Office Daze
Arthur C. Clarke’s three laws apply to my everyday life: Here’s how.
- When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is probably wrong.
- When my boss says something is possible it means that I should do it immediately, When I say it’s impossible it means I’m just doing it wrong.
- The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
- In this case when they can’t find the possible the only way to push through the impossible is to break it and give it to me. Figuring things out is for losers and salesmen.
- Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
- In this case my personal cell phone must look like a fairy’s fucking magic wand …you know, a long stick with a star on the top, the same kind the fairy godmother from Cinderella used to make a pumpkin into a carriage . . . I wonder if . . . nope they’re just crazy.
