Definition of Insanity

[dvduval]

This one really made me think...
(someone shared this definition with me)

What is the definition of Insanity?
Answer: Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Think about it.

[dvduval]

Are you asking whether or not I'm insane?
(maybe the same as yesterday)

Are you going to keep posting this definition over and over or are you suggesting your not?

Possibly the Alcoholics Anonymous "Big Book"?

Kinds flies in the face of "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!"

You assume that the saying means to try the same thing again...

I believe most of us do the same thing over and over again, but we expect the same result.

If by "doing the same thing" you mean optimizing keywords, seo, campaigns, etc., then yes - keep doing the same thing! But that's not quite the point of the original quote.

Good point, but trying again doesn't necessarily mean you should continue using the same losing method. Most likely you would keep trying and continue to find better ways to succeed than on the initial attempts.
