The Definition of Insanity.

Albert Einstein once said, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." When you've been doing something for quite a while, such as trying to figure out a math problem, but you're not making any progress, you may have fallen into this trap. The most important thing you can do is to stop what you've been doing and try a different method. Even if the new method doesn't work, it will at least give you a new angle on the problem and may give you a new idea you can use to solve it. Keep changing your approach and eventually, you'll find a method that works. So, remember: if one approach isn't working, take another approach.

Translation

精神错乱的定义

阿尔伯特•爱因斯坦说过:“精神错乱的定义就是一遍又一遍地做同样的事情,却期待有不同的结果。”当你做一件事做了很久,例如一直想解出一道数学题目,却没有任何进展,你可能已经陷入了这样的困境。你能做的最重要的事情就是停止你一直在做的事,并尝试不同的方法。即使新方法没有奏效,它至少会给你一个看待问题的新角度,并可能给你一个可以用来解决问题的新想法。不断改变你的方法,最终你会找到一个有用的方法。所以,请记住:如果一个方法不管用,就请采取另一个方法。
