Illogical Persistence

Some people can go through life fixated on an end objective. As a result, they can risk providing a lesser attention to what lies between the start and finish lines thereby reducing the chances of attaining their objective.

When it comes to demonstrating a lack of foresight, I believe Albert Einstein’s quote on insanity drives home the reality of inadequate planning. “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” And yet, some people faced with the reality that their approach is faulty will continue to persist.
