Stupidity?

"Stupidity is to do the same thing over and over, and expect a different result" someone smart once said. Was it Albert Einstein?

In any case, that saying can be viewed from many perspectives. As relatives we can always try to nag or bribe until change happens. Sometimes, that might work. Many times it doesn't. Still we keep on trying, over and over again. And we hope there'll be a different result next time.

So if we used the same method over and over again, and it clearly isn't providing the result we hoped for, what then can we do differently?
