This phenomenon, known as the “definition of insanity,” has been a subject of fascination for philosophers, scientists, and thinkers alike. Doing the same thing and expecting different results can be seen as a testament to human nature. We can’t seem to get over it.

Albert Einstein is credited with saying, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Whether it’s in relationships, work, or personal growth, Einstein’s words remind us that change requires action, not just hope.

In the world of business and innovation, Steve Jobs is credited with, “If you do the same things as others, you’ll get the same results as others.” It serves as a reminder that following the crowd will only lead to mediocrity, while true success comes from daring to be different.

The poet Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote, “The mind, once stretched by a new idea, never returns to its original dimensions.” It suggests that by seeking new experiences and challenging our beliefs, we can break free from the cycle of monotony and achieve extraordinary results.

The library of Mistakes was founded in Edinburg Scotland, in 2013. It features a collection of over two thousand books that can educate the next generation of economists. This was to prevent another 1929, and 2008. According to the library’s curators, this serves as a perfect example of how seemingly “smart people keep doing stupid things.

In scripture, Paul reminded the Corinthians that one way to avoid yielding to temptation and to have a strong spiritual life is to learn from the mistakes of God’s people in the past. He used them who engaged in idolatry, chose to commit immorality, grumbled about the plans and purposes of God, and rebelled against His leaders. 

Due to their sin, they experienced His discipline (1 Corinthians 10:7-10). At times God seemingly gives up on us and leaves us alone, allowing us to go our own way and not stopping us even when we’re headed toward disaster.

The Bible says, “God gave them up” (Romans 1:26). However, God is always ready to forgive us and save us, no matter how far we have drifted away from Him. We may turn our backs on someone who has offended us but God never does.

No matter how far we have strayed. Unlike Karma, hope is available at the next bus stop.
