There was a scientist who said something like this: A thousand experiments cannot prove me right, but a single experiment could prove me wrong.
I think you all know what it means. One experiment could undo all the effort and time he has put in to try to prove something.
Sometimes it is like that in our life. In your work, for example, you may have put in a lot of effort and commitment but it doesn’t mean you will get a promotion. On the other hand, if you make a mistake, it could cost you your bonus or increment.
Or if you are holding public office - when things go smoothly, the hard work you have done throughout the years is seldom appreciated by the public. However, if an unpleasant thing happens people want to chop off your head.
Actually I was thinking of the National Day Parade. It requires tremendous effort and massive organization. But this also cannot prevent freak accidents from happening which could mar the Show. You could almost hear the organizers heave a huge sign of relief when it was over, Thank God.
