Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Practice: repeating the same actions, in the expectation that results will improve.

Enough said :)

No, insanity is believing that you are doing the same thing every time but getting different results.

Practice: see above.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Practice: trying to do the same things over and over again without going insane, so you can expect the same results over and over again.

I'm escalating this:

"Excellence is an art won by training and habituation...We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit."

It's Aristotle - or rather a rather pithy summary of his thought by Durant. Good though.

You begin your career with an empty bag of experience a full bag of luck. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.
