Persistence isn’t using the same tactics over and over. That’s just annoying.
Persistence is having the same goal over and over.

That’s a good one.
I also like: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
I think they’re corollaries to one another…
Ah, but someone else having the same goal over and over can be annoying
- much like they are not really persistent, just not committed to the goal….
I’ve got to agree with Diane on this one. Someone else continually pursuing the same goal can be very annoying.
But I guess Seth didn’t say that persistence equals wisdom. You could be persistent about a foolish goal.
@Diane: I’m not entirely sure what you mean. If someone says they have a goal and their behavior doesn’t support it, I’m not sure they can call it a goal.
@Andrew: Annoying to whom?
