"The defintion of insanity is when you do the same things over and over, yet expect a different result."
This is what I like to call a "Limbaughism" - a pseudo-proverb that sounds true on first hearing, but contains a basic logical flaw.
How do you become more proficient at a given activity? Answer - you practice. What is practice if not doing the same thing over and over? And expecting a different result - that you'll eventually become skilled at it.
Question conventional wisdom. Life is far too complex to be easily condensed into pithy little quotes.
