Engineering an outcome

A lot of thing do not happen by chance and most likely it would never will. Even at times when all hard work has been put in the outcome isn't simply critical. It could either be failure related to soft issue (humans issues which include you yourself ) or simply because of Murphy's law which can be covered as the subset of the first mentioned. At its simplest understanding Murphy's law states that whatever can go wrong will go wrong.

Knowing this does not mean that one has to be scared of achieving an outcome. Contrary to this, knowledge of Murphy's law should be used as an advantage. This can be done by anticipating the failure and prepare a back-up plan for it in order for critical mass to be achieved.

There are many ways to in stopping failure from stopping critical mass. The most common use is by having consistently having a good margin so that if in case anything goes wrong there is still time to fix it up and it won't affect critical mass. Be cautious however, that this way is a double edge sword. It may provide some sort of safety net to achieving critical outcome, however, the technique breeds complacency. proper planning too is essential as having too big of a margin would mean critical mass would never be achieved while have too short of a margin would create failure to which critical mass would collapse as the nature of critical mass is that of an integrated one.

One must remember that concept of critical mass is interlinked. Failure of the subset does not disrupt critical mass. However, if the subset is the only one supporting the link , failure of a minor outcome can be the destruction of critical mass. Therefore, it is important to remember that the link ( i.e work , social life, investment, plan) should only be supported by a single entity.
