Insanity: trying the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result each time.

I liked your comment because my post could qualify as being on the edge of positive thought ... and I say on the edge because one has to know when to quit, or at least change course.

The difference between stubbornness and perseverance is the end result. It's cruel, but it's true. If one succeeds after many, many travails, one will be remembered as a perseverant character. If one fails, then one will be judged as stubborn.

Only a cool and clear perspective of the means available to attain a proposed goal can guarantee success. Or at least avoid failure. Then again, sometimes we see opportunities where everyone else sees a cliff.

It's called wisdom. And it comes with experience.

 

Channel your pain.

"Why English is so hard to learn"

Not really, once you understand the concept of context.

Punctuation is always what gives me trouble.

 

"Sometimes, a PhD just means you're a well educated idiot."

Now more than ever.
