Most people do not understand Murphy's law. It is not bad things are going to happen. It is if there is a way that something can be done wrong then eventually it will be done wrong. Any good engineer will keep this in the back of his/her mind when designing something that people will be using. Designing a plug so that it can only be plugged in the correct way is an application of Murphy's law. The idea was to design a product that cannot be used incorrectly which will make it impossible to use it incorrectly.

No. It's a product of negative thinking. If you are constantly looking at the downside of everything, then you will become convinced that everything is always going wrong. If you look for the positives in every situation you will come to the opposite conclusion.
