Bread by rprata on Flickr.

Most people have probably heard the saying, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results.” Sometimes insanity is replaced by stupidity; often the quote is (mis-)attributed to Einstein.

The implication in this quote is that insanity and perseverance are, at least functionally, synonymous. So is it insane to keep getting up and dusting yourself off after failure, to, as the man says, “try, try again”?

I clarified the distinction in my own mind with the following analogy: imagine a baker trying to perfect a recipe for a perfect loaf of bread.

Perseverance: The baker bakes and discards dozens, hundreds, maybe a thousand loaves, each with a distinct variation to the process. A bit more salt in this one. A little lemon zest in that. Currants, perhaps? No? For the next she raises the oven temperature a few degrees, for the one after she lowers it a little. At last, through trial and error she achieves her ideal and can forget the trash bins full of useful failures. They are the stairs to the summit of her triumph, to wax a bit poetic.

Insanity: The baker bakes a thousand loaves from the same imperfect recipe, and declares all bread is terrible or baking is impossible.

#Bread, insanity, perseverance

I’ve seen Wreck-It Ralph half a dozen times now and I keep coming back to the idea that when M.Bison asks Ralph, “You’re not goin’ Turbo, are you?” the audience at that point has no context for what Turbo means.

Unless, of course, you’re an old arcade goer, and then the instant association (especially considering the source) is Street Fighter II Turbo.

The way M.Bison says the line makes it clear “going Turbo” is a bad thing, and I can’t decide if this is a jab at the Turbo edition of SFII or just a cute little in-joke. I guess in order for it to be the former, it would have to also be the latter.

First Taste, Slow Motion Reactions of Children Tasting Various Foods For the First Time

Hidden somewhere in each of these is a testimonial to The New. None of the kids, whether the taste was pleasant or not, appeared reproachful for the experience or abashed by their reaction. They reveled in it, just living the discovery, reminding me of how pure it can be to simply say, “I Tried.”
