I agree with this quote because if we keep on doing what we have been doing, then it is most likely that the result will be the same as always. It is just like the cause and effect. If the cause is the same, rarely will the effect change. Nevertheless, sometimes, even if we keep doing the same things, the situation also affects what the outcomes will be. So even if we always do what we’ve always done, we might not always get what we’ve always gotten. :D

I agree with you. I like the part where you mentioned that if the cause is the same, the effect would not really change. It is true because if we keep doing the same thing, the result would not change, and we would stay at the same place.

You said that the outcome can vary with changing environment which I disagree to. Even with changing environment, it is purely up to you to do something to better the outcome. If you do not do anything, it is unlikely that you will get better results.

I agree with you that if we keep doing the same things over again, nothing will change. I also agree that things could change if we do the same thing over again, but it is going to be difficult. I also like the way you said "if the cause is the same, rarely will the effect change".

Copter 12E

11/13/2020 10:37:32 pm

I agree with you, that the result will be the same because you already done what you already finished. Then you not gonna improve anything. I like the sentence that "if the cause is the same, rarely will the effect change.

Mint AP Lang D

11/10/2020 11:20:42 am

I agree with this quote. it states that if we keep doing the things we did before, we're going to get the same results. It is true because if we keep doing the same thing, we would not improve because we are going to stay at the same place. Sometimes if we always do what we did before, we are going to get the same result, not improving and will stay at the same place or level. However, sometimes it is good to keep doing what you always did, so you can get the same result as what you want.

Dada (AP Lang D)

I agree with you because it's a common sense that if we keep on doing the same things we have always done then we will get the same result we have always gotten.

I know that we will never improve if we keep doing the same old thing. I think that before doing anything new we should have a back up plan and plan the things we are going to do out. When disasters happen we will be ready to handle it.

Kurt English 12 Block F

11/12/2020 06:07:25 pm

It's true that there should always be a backup plan for everything you will encounter, but it doesn't always work. It's better to always be prepare for anything rather than only preparing according to what you have in your plan.

Ruby (AP Research Block A)

11/13/2020 10:08:08 pm

Yes, back up plans are really important when you are doing something, When Plan A fails, you can just go directly to Plan B without panicking or wasting any time coming up with a new plan.

Praew (AP Lang)

11/12/2020 01:12:09 pm

I agree with you that by doing the things we did before, we're going to get the same results. This is because we will not improve by doing the same things over again. We have to change ourselves for the better like study harder or in a different style of studying.

Faith (AP Language Block D)

11/13/2020 10:50:34 pm

I agree with you that sometimes if we do not change our ways, we are going to get the same result. However, i just want to point out that sometimes consistency is what is desired, so getting the same result isn't always a bad thing.

11/13/2020 11:59:28 pm

I agree with you. I like the part that you mentioned that if we keep doing the same things, we are going to get the same thing and not improving at all. There are both good and bad things, the good thing is you are sure that you will always get the same result.

Tonhom (Eng 11/B)

11/10/2020 05:38:02 pm

If people keep doing the same thing that they did before, those people will only get the same result. Those people will never learn new things and stay at the same level and have no improvement. People should come out of their comfort zone to experience new things and learn to deal with changes because things are unpredictable. As a human, you need to keep learning to survive in this world.

Belle (AP Research block A) link

11/10/2020 07:59:13 pm

I completely agree with you. By always doing the same thing, one is unable to make improvements and gain new knowledge/experience. It is extremely important to get your hands dirty in the sense that it can help us become the best versions of ourselves.

Dada

11/10/2020 10:00:20 pm

Yes I do agree with you because it is true that if we keep on doing the same things then we will have no improvement. Sometimes, in order for us to be able to gain new knowledge and experience, we need to try out new things.

I also think that people should come out of their comfort zone to experience new things. There are many more things to learn, and learning doesn't stop. We shouldn't only stay at the same spot and close ourselves out from new things.

Emmy (AP Research + Lang)

Thing is, some people are afraid of failing and therefore do not come out of their comfort zone. That is where great people start to fail. Person A may be the most skilled person in the class, but if they are so skilled that they are afraid to fail in front of anyone, even themselves, it's a bad habit that is hard to undo.

Mint (Block H)

11/11/2020 10:25:56 am

I really like how you said that as a human we need to learn to deal with changes because things are unpredictable. Just like covid, you can’t do the things you’ve always done since everything is closed. If you still do the things that you’ve done then you probably wouldn’t survive covid.

11/11/2020 08:36:37 pm

I strongly agreed with what you said. People need to learn to adapt to changes because if you can't, you won't be able to live. Just like what you gave an example of Covid. If we don't adapt to the situation and still doing the same thing we normally did, you won't be able to get through Covid.

Pam (English 12 Block H)

I like how you state that people that don't want to try new things and keep doing the same thing won't be able to improve themselves. I really agreed with this statement. I also believed that experiences acquire our knowledge of new things, learn what mistakes we did, what can we improve, and how can we become better in the future.

11/13/2020 10:51:10 pm

Yes, this quote applies to most things. If you do not change the way you do things you will keep getting the same results. However, is that true? If I do the same workout every single day will the results not change? This quotes applies to most, but there are few things that it doesn't apply too, but you are right it is for the best if you keep improving yourself rather than staying at the same level.

Belle (AP Research block A) link

11/10/2020 07:52:33 pm

I agree with this quote. You cannot do the same thing over and over again and pray for improvements. If you want change, you have to work for it. Everything is always changing. Therefore, you should always be observing yourself and finding rooms for improvements.

Arly (English 11 Block B)

11/10/2020 10:21:11 pm

I also think that because everything is changing, then we should adapt as things changes. I believe there are always room for improvement if we actually try to improve. People can always keep learning, no matter how old they are.

March(English 11 BlockB)

11/10/2020 10:21:20 pm

It is true how if you want to improve you have to practice a lot. I agree with how things change over time and nothing would always be the same. So you should observe and reinforce your weak spots.

Eve (English 11 B)

I agree that people should always find room for improvement. By improving oneself would make a person become better and stand out, therefore, there would be more great opportunities or chances for them.

Mint AP Lang D

Faith (AP Language Block D)

11/13/2020 10:52:23 pm

I agree with you that for change, we have to work for it. The world is constantly evolving and according to Charles Darwin, the people most likely to survive are the most adaptable. Thus, continuous self reflection and personal improvements are important.

Ally (English 11 Block H)

11/10/2020 08:23:17 pm

It is important to try new things and get out of one’s comfort zone so that the results one get can be exceptional. If one decides to do something repeatedly without challenging oneself to try new things, the result wouldn’t come out as outstanding. An example could be a student who always studies the same way by doing a mediocre job. If he decides to not change his study habits, he might be ending up with a much lower grade compared to studying the other way by putting in much more efforts.

Sean (English B)

11/10/2020 10:02:30 pm

I agree with you, if a person gets a bad result and he tries doing the same thing, it won't work out. Sometime we have to find a way around the problem, not charging toward it.

Ken (English 11 Block B)

I agree that people sometimes need to step out of their comfort zone. From my experience that I first came to TCIS, I remember that at my old school I don't need to present in front of class just like this school so it really make me scared everytime there is assignment to present in front of class. I always think that I can't do it but everytime after finish presentation I feel like I have unlock my feeling.

Mint (Block H)

11/11/2020 10:28:39 am

It’s so true that if we keep doing the same thing then the outcome wouldn’t be outstanding. This can be a con since it’s already 2020 and people want outstanding people to work with them. Doing the same things and staying in your comfort zone might not be the best option in 2020.

I acknowledge this quote. Because if you keep on doing the same thing the same way, nothing is going to change. Even Albert Einstein once said "Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different result". Sometime people have to move on and start improving on something new.

Ken (English 11 Block B)

11/10/2020 10:15:53 pm

I agree with what you said people should always try new things and start improving on something new

March(English 11 BlockB)

11/10/2020 10:25:00 pm

I love how you mention Einstein it is true that when people lost interest in something they would give less attention and less motivation on doing it. Redoing the same thing and being force could even turn somebody insane and the outcome is that they wouldn't ever do it again.

Joseph English 11 B

11/10/2020 10:40:59 pm

We have to step out from our comfort zone. I'm not saying keep doing the same thing is wrong, but I think people should always try something new.

Aurora (AP Research Block A)

11/11/2020 08:34:51 am

I agree with you that staying in the comfort zone does not improve or change the situation. I also agree with you when you mentioned that we need to expect different results in every type of situation. Additionally, we must be prepared for the changes by not remaining in the comfort zone.

Pam (English 12 Block E)

11/11/2020 08:41:23 pm

Sally (AP research Block A)

11/14/2020 08:51:56 am

While I do agree that people should move out of their comfort zone and try something new, sometimes repetition is what really works. Instead of trying new things and getting no results, maybe it would be a safer and more effective option to do what you are doing right now, since you are guaranteed the outcome.

Ken (English 11 Block B)

11/10/2020 10:01:35 pm

It depend on the purpose If you are trying to perfect something then doing it over and over will help improve the result for example math when you are struggling with math the best way to master math is to do it over and over again but once you master it you should alway get out from comfort zone and try new thing

Sean (English B)

11/10/2020 10:05:55 pm

Yes, I agree with you. Sometime doing the same things will get a good result, because you get to practice it. I like what you said about "once you master it you should always get out from comfort zone and try new thing".

Kim-Hun (AP Research Block A)

11/11/2020 05:11:14 pm

I absolutely agree with your interpretation. My initial thoughts were similar as well. You get what you work for, but the initial result and the final result could be different. This is why people practice. They might not be that good at first, but they get better with time. Identical actions provide similar result, but results can transcend.

Ping English 12 Block F

11/11/2020 06:59:13 pm

I agree with you that doing the same thing means more practice which might yield better results. If we are trying to accomplish something, maybe practice makes perfect. If we keep doing the same thing multiple times, we might be able to master a skill and then we can move on to practicing other skills and mastering them too.

Emmy (AP Research + Lang)

11/12/2020 04:32:58 pm

Great point. However, the process of mastering a skill in mathematics is more than just doing the same set of problems with the same strategy. While you could push it and do the same strategy over and over again without any regards to time, you could change up out strategy a little bit and save yourself a bunch of time.

Sinny (AP Research Block A)

11/12/2020 07:41:08 pm

I like how you've pointed out the improvement of an action. Sometimes we keep trying the same thing just to make it perfect, which I could totally feel the same way because achieving perfection sometimes really becomes an obsession (It might not be a good thing to have). When we finally achieve the best result, breaking out the comfort zone would be a good choice for us to acquire new knowledge.

Mulan (English 11 Block H)

11/12/2020 11:29:29 pm

I agree some time doing something over and over again we might not get the same result. Because if you do something many time you will develop skill and every time you do you will be able to do it faster and more perfect. This time you will not get the same result like the one before.

Arly (English 11 Block B)

11/10/2020 10:04:21 pm

I think this quote depends on the situation. Example in math class, if we study the same way we did, we may get a higher grade or lower grade. Which I think it depends on how much we understand each different lessons. But trying new ways is also a good idea, because we don't know that if we take this risk, the result would be better or not.

Joseph English 11 B

11/10/2020 10:44:20 pm

I agree how she said "depends on the situation." A basketball player has to practice how to shoot again and again. It is not good for him to keep trying something new to him. He better master the skills instead of
having variety skills.

Eve (English 11 B)

11/11/2020 05:35:18 pm

I admit that it depends on the situation because sometimes doing the same thing the outcome might be better but sometimes it keeps you in the same place. The outcome of any situation is unpredictable so people should try their best in everything first.

Krystal Lin (English 11 Block B)

11/13/2020 06:42:37 pm

I agree with the sentence that says "trying new ways is also a good idea". The consequences of this are hard to predict. But I suggest we need to give a try. We never know the end if we don't try to do it.

March(English 11 BlockB)

11/10/2020 10:14:28 pm

I sympathize with this quote in the way that knowing and only practicing one set of skills sometimes doing it too much can make it less interesting to you. Having the motivation to do something over a long period could be great for some people but would it make you feel mentally happy. People should open their eyes and explore all the things that they can do because we have to all remember that we only live once and would you be happy by doing one thing your whole life?

Tonhom (Eng11/B)

11/11/2020 06:35:07 pm

I completely agree with you because we only live once, and with that being said, you should explore and keep learning things that you can. People have to live their lives worthwhile.

Joseph English 11B

11/10/2020 10:36:18 pm

The quote tells us we should not stay in our comfort zone, we should have try something new. For me, I had a serious injury last year, which stopped me from playing sports. Instead, I'm trying to do music. It is a big step for me because I'd never try for this before. However it is a big benefit for me because I'm giving myself a challenge which is forcing me to step out from the comfort zone.

Aurora (AP Research Block A)

11/11/2020 08:21:41 am

I agree with you since the results of any situation is unknown and (most of them) cannot be predicted. Additionally, I totally agree when you mentioned that "we should not stay in our comfort zone" since there may be a twist and sudden change in every situation. Therefore, in my opinion, individuals should be prepared for challenges.

Tonhom (Eng 11/B)

11/11/2020 09:39:52 am

I also think that people should come out of their comfort zone and try new things. Most of the time, it might be a challenge, however, it is worth trying new things.

Felicia (English 11 Block B)

I totally agree with you, I believe that if you keep on doing the things that you've done constantly then one day you will be able to improve more on it. This quote also encourages me to fight even harder to get into my desired university. It also give us the chance to get out of our comfort zone and try new things.

Aurora (AP Research Block A)

11/11/2020 08:18:54 am

Studying very hard for a test does not guarantee that an individual will score a hundred on the next test and trying very hard every day does not guarantee that an individual will be accepted into their desired university. I disagree with this quote since the results of most situation cannot be predicted, in other words, we cannot predict the future. For instance, I cannot predict that I will score full on my next math test. Moreover, this quote makes me want to try harder since the results cannot be guaranteed.

Leah (English 11 Block H)

No outcome is completely based off a person's actions or external conditions such as luck. The girl's got a point - this unpredictability of life's events is not an unfamiliar phenomenon to anyone. A balance between both is essential to determine the outcomes of a situation.

Kris

This quote made me think of one quote that I’ve read in the past. It said “You can’t read the same book twice and expect a different ending.” It’s true that the same book will always have the same ending just like our action. If you’ve always do what you’ve always do then nothing will change.

Ping English 12 Block F

11/11/2020 06:55:24 pm

I thought of this quote while reading it too! People often stick to the things they usually do because they are afraid to step out of their comfort zone. However, they also demand to see improvements in their lives. In order to have a better life, a person must not act the same way. They should be willing to step out of their comfort zone and make changes. If you don't act, you don't change.

Krystal (english 11 block h)

11/12/2020 10:32:52 pm

Reading your comment also make me think of another quote which is "don't reading a book over and over again when you already know how it ends." Even we can't change the ending of the book but in my point of view, reading the same book over and over again and will make us understand more about the story, how it end, and why it end that way. The ending will always be the same but maybe your feeling and your thought won't.

Mulan (English 11 Block H)

11/12/2020 11:24:09 pm

I really like the idea of this quote you mention. I really agree with you I think that it is very true that you cannot expect the different ending from reading the same book twice.

Kris

11/13/2020 11:50:45 pm

While I do like this quote, I have to agree more with another commenter, that just because an ending doesn't change doesn't mean that there wasn't any change at all. When you reread books, you often pick up on new perspectives and nuances which can change how you view it, same is with life. For example, at first a person may find partying fun, but after a while, it just becomes tedious and time-consuming.

"If you always do what you've always done, you're going to always get what you've always gotten."

This is more situational. It's true that continuing a certain behavior will continue to get you the same result. However, results can build up into something bigger. If you did the same thing with a little twist it could end up slightly differently as well. The quote applies, but situationally.

Eve (English 11 B)

11/11/2020 05:13:13 pm

I don’t think if you keep doing what you’ve done, the result would be the same because it may help you to become better at that particular thing by doing it over and over again. However, it is true that sometimes we need to get out of our comfort zone and try to experience new things to improve ourselves. So, I think it depends on the circumstances and what you do.

Ally (English 11 Block H)

11/11/2020 06:53:54 pm

I like how you've pointed out that by sticking with the same ways of doing things, it doesn't necessarily mean you're going to get what you've always got and never improve since it may help you to become better at it. It is also true that it depends on the situation and what you're working with. It is best to look at the situation and try your best to improve yourself in every step you take.

Jimmy (English 11 Block H)

11/11/2020 10:35:04 pm

Seeing your response made me think of the quote by Allen Iverson saying: "Not a game. We talking about practice. Not a game." Doing something over and over again is practice, and of course when you have done something over and over again for thousands of times you'll become better. Therefore receiving different results from the first time you did it.

Jacky (English 11 Block H)

11/13/2020 07:50:05 am

I agree with your response, repeating something over and over again is essentially perfecting that action. It can be called a practice, but once you change what you do, it can be considered an experimentation. You are trying something new, something that is added into that action you have done so many times before, something new would be born from that.

Mim #3378 (Eng 11 Block H)

11/12/2020 10:24:18 pm

You make me start to think in another point of view. I like when you said that the result wouldn't be the same because when we keep doing something over and over again, we will slowly become good at it and we will get a better result. It is true that to improve ourself, we might have to come out from our comfort zone to do some new things and learn from the mistake.

I can relate with this quote to my own student life. In school, students are always taught to improve themselves and strive for the best. If we keep on having the same study habits, we will get the same grade. However, if we choose to improve ourselves and change our study habits, then we might see vast improvements in our grades.

Kati English Block F

11/11/2020 07:09:18 pm

This example is very relatable to all of us. It is very important to find a study method that best suits you to improve our grades. By making a change to what we are used to, it may result in a good way!

Kurt English Block F

11/12/2020 06:12:20 pm

It's understandable that sometimes there must be a change to study methods to earn better grades, but if your old study plan earns you better grades than the new one, then you should stick to your old study method.

Henry English 12 Blk E

11/13/2020 07:49:27 am

I totally agree with you. If we always put in the same amount of effort in school, you'll always get the same grade. It is important to improve ourselves and change our study habits to be better.

Pam (English 12 Block E)

11/11/2020 06:57:02 pm

I partly agree with the quote saying that if we always do the same thing over and over, we'll never get to improve or move forward. This can be true in some situations and can be false in some as well. For instance, if we keep practicing dribbling and shooting basketball, we will be better at it and receiving more opportunities to compete in more tournaments. On the other hand, we can't just stick to the old method. For example, if we keep on failing the test, we might want to find a new method of studying or a new testing strategy that might help us receive a better score.

Kati English Block F

11/11/2020 07:08:04 pm

Pam, I like how you looked at both views of this quote. I totally agree that there can be both pros and cons when doing the same thing over and over again. Both of your examples make are rational.

I totally with you. There is always a bad and good side to everything depending on the situation. Even with the old method that you mentioned, I think that if you reflect on it and try to improve it and retry it, it might even work better.

Jacky (English 11 Block H)

11/13/2020 07:54:35 am

I completely agree with what you've said, doing something over and over again is perfecting that thing. But if the way you're doing it is not working, then you should discover a new way to do it successfully.

Kati English 12 Block F

11/11/2020 07:05:58 pm

When I first read this quote, it makes me feel motivated about determining my future. Everything is up to me on whether or not I want to remain in the rat race and do the same things, or step out of my comfort zone and try new things. If we twist things up a little bit and challenge ourselves, we might experience the things we've never done before.

Jimmy (English 11 Block H)

11/11/2020 10:37:58 pm

This a valid point, of course in order to improve ourselves we need to step out of our comfort zones, but the results are unpredictable. Is it really worth the risk? Instead of sticking to something a person is sure about, changing it could lead to their own demise. Destroying the stability they already had.

Chanel (English 12 Block E)

11/12/2020 09:41:04 pm

I feel the same too. I feel motivated to start trying out new things that I was afraid or lazy of doing.

Jimmy (English 11 Block H)

11/11/2020 10:26:48 pm

As others have stated, this quote depends heavily on the situation. Say, I have always used a certain method to study, and it worked, I scored A on the test every time I study using this method. So yeah, I would continue doing what I've always done, instead of changing it. On the other hand, say playing golf, even if we had a robot programmed to do the same swing over and over again the ball wouldn't go to the exact same spot every time, because of external factors. There is always external factors acting upon us. So, therefore no matter how many times you keep doing the same things, something is bound to change whether the change is significant or miniscule.

Jai-Jai, Block A link

11/12/2020 06:18:51 am

I like your study method example, it shows that if a method is producing the desired outcome why would anyone want to change?

Pro (English 11 Block H)

11/12/2020 10:22:19 am

While I do agree that external factors do impact outcome, in the long run, your results are still going to stay the same. In your golf example, the wind is equally likely to blow the ball to the left and much as the right. It is never efficient to rely on luck to change your outcome

Jai-Jai, Block A link

11/12/2020 06:13:53 am

This quote is referring to when you are solving a problem and it's not working out. You should try new ways or adjust you method to solve the problem, not using the same way and expecting a new result. People mention that this quote heavily depends on the situation which I agree and think that there's only two. One where you have the most significant effect on the result and the other where other factors and you can effect the result. For example, solving a rubik's cube, the only thing deciding whether or not the cube is solved, is you. While in a game, your plan might work the first time but the second time it doesn't. It's because the situation changes and it no longer works. However, this doesn't mean that the method is bad its just that it is no longer or not suited for this situation.

Beryl

11/14/2020 09:10:32 am

I agree with everything you've said. It really depends on the situation. Like the example you gave, if we keep trying to solve a problem and it doesn't work out, we have to change our methods or else we'll get the same results over and over again.

Som (English 12E)

11/12/2020 07:08:01 am

If you plant apple seeds, you will always get an apple no matter what; the apple seeds will never give you oranges or bananas. This logic applies in everything that we do; if we want the outcome to change, then we need to change our actions or thinking. We can frequently see this in successful people, they would always try to find new perspectives to advance themselves, they would not do the same old things because in the end, the result will be the same.

Pro (English 11 Block H)

11/12/2020 10:20:10 am

I think your analogy is really easy to understand. The quote is obvious but also effective. There is no way you are going to become better if you do not improve your methods.

Sam English 12 Block E

11/13/2020 07:47:50 am

The logic and examples provided is very comprehensive. For sure if you plant apple seeds, you won't receive bananas or oranges. Nevertheless, maybe you won't even receive apples if the planting process didn't go well enough. Outcomes could differ from expectation and that is part of our life.

11/12/2020 07:36:12 am

Yes, if you always do what you've always done, you're going to get what you've always gotten. But in my opinion, it can be both disadvantage and advantage. If we do what we have always done, yes, we will end up with the same result and you won't get new knowledge or something new but doing the same things many time also improve your skill for doing that like a practice. When you do something over and over, you will be using shorter and shorter time for doing that.

Phakhom (English 11 Block H)

11/12/2020 06:55:19 pm

I agree that doing something over and over again can improve our skills. By doing the same have a good side, it can make us be a professional of what we doing. Doing something over and over can gives us a new result, it might not be a totally different result. But the amount of time of doing it or small little detail might change.

Pumpkin (English 11 Block H)

11/12/2020 08:03:13 pm

It is true, there are both pros and cons. Both the pros and cons have benefits, like you said. Doing same things result in the same things. But sometimes doing thing over and over is good thing to do.

Felicia (English 11 Block B)

11/12/2020 09:40:15 am

I think that this quote is really true because if you always do what you have always done, you're gonna get what you've always gotten. This quote can be analyzed in many different ways. Like for example the first thing that came up to my mind when I read this quote was not being able to improve because you're just sticking to the same thing and the results would be the same too.

Krystal (english 11 block h)

11/12/2020 01:59:48 pm

When I read this quote, first thing that I came out is keep doing on one thing, even we’re going always get what we’ve always gotten is true. But the process is different. It might be difficult for us at first time but it will become easier later. So at this point we need to try something new.

Barbie ( English 11 Block B )

11/13/2020 08:40:26 am

i agree with you because i believe that people that always do the same thing over and over again, it may be because they like to do that thing or they are very interested but in another side, it is very true that if you keep doing the same thing over and over again, your not gonna get to know or learn new thing.

11/12/2020 10:18:04 am

I mostly agree with this quote. People who rely on luck and opportunities to just fall on their laps is never going to get anywhere. That is why no one gets rich from buying lotteries and gambling. All they are doing is the same thing over and over again while expecting different results.

Beryl (AP Research Block A)

11/14/2020 09:09:30 am

There is no exact answer in the future before us. There is no way you can tell what exactly is going to happen, therefore I have to disagree with this quote. Even when reading the same book, you might get discover new details every time you read it. Another example is when you try to perfect something. By doing something again and again might help you discover somethings never been discovered before. It helps you reflect on what you did and improve.

Yaya

Before reading other people’s comment I wrote mine and I said I agree with this quote. But then when I read yours it change my mind. You are one hundred percent correct that we as humans do not know the future. Therefore we won’t always know what happen if we did it the second or third time.

I complete agree, there is no exact answer in the future before us. This is no guarantee that our result will be the same even though we did the same step and complete the same process. Everything is our life are constantly changing, even with us not wanting it. There is no way that tomorrow will be the same as today. There are many uncontrollable factors that will always intervene our action.

Wow! you blew it, exactly as you mentioned things might not fully discovered yet, such as reading an old book over and over at each time of life. Albeit, I have to say, sometimes It may be best to corporate both into good use. For instance, waking up every day at 12:00 am on a weekend but then the person changes his routine to waking up at 6am throughout the whole week. He/She might have turned that time into a much more productive hour and perhaps things might become more achievable or even accelerated.

What an interesting comment. We have one thing in common, Earth. Whenever I do something, I would always expect myself to think about the future and the outcome of doing that particular thing. No one knows what's going to happen in the future. It's just straight up scary? isn't it?

Yaya

11/12/2020 11:45:30 am

Unless you change your way of behaving, you’ll get the same result. I feel like we should try to be positive in ourselves. Try to step outside our comfort zone and try something new. If you are wondering why you never achieve your goals, maybe you are doing it the wrong way. Trying the same strategy does not bring you a different result because you are basically doing the same thing. We all fear, but we just have to go over the fear.

Earth Block F

11/12/2020 11:50:58 am

I can definitely understand your point of view. However, I think that if you reflect on that old method, you might even develop a better solution than always choosing something new because other methods might not even be suitable for you.

I completely agree, our mindset does effect our result. Positive mindset will help us get the result we want. And a negative mindset will only make it harder to accomplish anything. Stepping outside your comfort zone is also need, even though you are safe it in, there’s also no guarantee that outside your comfort zone isn’t safe.

I do not agree with the quote. You will not always get the same result just because you have already done it before. Even though the process of doing things might be the same, but our mindset changes over time. For example, if I were to practice the same set of Math questions for two week, it is obvious that I will probably get a full score. But one in a while, I can possibly get one or two question wrong because I’m too used to with the question that I don’t even think while doing it. And that’s on being cocky, to the point that it starts to hurt you. I also believe that there are no way that you are in a controlled environment that will help you get what you always gotten.

Myra (English 12 Block E)

11/12/2020 08:48:29 pm

Praew (AP Lang)

11/12/2020 01:09:21 pm

To me, this sentence explained that if we don’t change whatever we are doing, the results will always come out the same. For example, if a student keeps on focusing on studying before their test and gets a good grade, they will keep getting a good grade. However, if another student never studies for tests and they always fail, there will never be a day where they will get a good grade.

Ryo (English 12 Block E)

11/12/2020 07:35:29 pm

Results will always correlate to the initial set of actions put into place in order to get a final outcome. If there is repetition in actions, there will be an equal repetition in results. It takes thought and a desire to do something new in order to alter someone's thought process. There is never only one way to approach something. People's minds just have to be opened to other options in order to find multiple methods to success.

Hoon (English 11 Block H)

11/12/2020 01:29:57 pm

This quote lines itself exactly with the scientific method. If you don't change your independent nor your dependent variables, 99.9999999999999999999999999999999% of the time, nothing's going to change (unless some type of miracle happens). Just as Hoon said, this type of insanity can limit your learning as a human being. Learning new things and adapting to new situations is the way to survive in this ever-changing world. By doing the same things, you won't be open to learning and taking in new information.

It's a very good point to lead out the comparison with the scientific method. Without changing our independent or dependent variables, the results might always be the same (well unless there are some confounding variables). If we want to acquire new knowledge and new result, we should be considered about changing our road first.

Kevin (AP Research Block A)

I stumbled upon your comment as I was searching for another comment. However, your idea of "adapting to new situations is the way to survive in this ever-changing world" gave me a lot of insights. I always knew that adaptability is the way to survive (survival of the fittest); however, I didn't really apply it to this quote. It's true that if you don't make new changes (or accept changes), it'll limit your learning. Your comment gave me new perspective that I didn't consider at all.

I strongly agree with this quote. If you do not try out new things or introduce new variables, results will keep being the same and you will not see any differences. This is why some people tend to try out new things rather than just conforming to the old things. For example, if your study method doesn't work, you have to make some changes to the study method so next time it will be a successful one. If you do not change your study method, there will not be new results.

The quote mention that you will always get, if you always do what you've always done. In my opinion, the quote relate to comfortable zone. Everyone has a comfortable zone, which everyone will like to do what we always done. Having the same input, causes the same result or output. But, sometime doing what we always done wasn't a good idea. We have to find something new and get out of our comfort zone. Repetition of the same action might be boring, so we have to learn new things. It might be better than before.

Pumpkin (English 11 Block H)

Birdy

11/12/2020 07:17:52 pm

I agree with this to a certain extend, for countless of times I had encountered in my life, doing the same things would always result in the same outcome. Very much like going on and on in an ever-ending loop. However, I do believe that this quote doesn't apply to what our future selfs will encounter. Fate, or future is indeed an uncontrollable factor in which humans need to understand. From my own stand point, changing my mindset and how I used to do things had greatly, more or less rewritten my outcomes. Humans are gifted indeed, some with power to change things, others with flaws have succeeded from doing things differently. In fact, science have proven that changing the mindset and the things we do could doesn't entirely make the outcome change completely but more could be happen.

Gun

Speaking of the never-ending loop that you mentioned in your statement, have you ever heard of a wormhole? It is theoretical passage through space-time that could create shortcuts for long journeys across the universe.

This quote could mean by two ways, positive and negative. In the positive way, it could mean that all the hard work you deserves what you get. But in the opposite way, it could mean that you are not improving. If you still act the same things won't change. Just like you're standing still and not moving forward.

This is very true, this quote could be negative or positive. Depending on the person, if they are doing great they should be reading and feeling in a positive way!

Sinny (AP Research Block A)

I agree with this quote, most of the time, "persistence" seems to be a factor of success, and it seems necessary to stick it out and make all the efforts for it. However, if we keep walking the same path, we will reach the same destination every time and get the same result every time; in other words, we will fall into the so-called Mobius Strip Effect and cycle the same path all the time. Is the road that we walked all the way in the first place gonna turn out to be satisfactory? This has become a factor that we really need to be considered. When we decide to strive for a different and better result, we should break our comfort zone and take a new path; when we really take that step, we might find out that: The reality is not as bad as we thought, and that road is not so difficult to walk on either.

Ryo (English 12 Block E)

11/12/2020 07:32:12 pm

Persistence is key to success because in order to get something done, we have to have the resilience and perseverance to face the obstacles and solve the problems. If not, we'll never get anything done in life. Persistence can become unhealthy though as one can focus on one option and not consider other situations and circumstances where another option would be more appropriate, this is cause people to become stubborn and illogical.

Cindy ( AP Research Block A)

11/13/2020 02:23:17 pm

I agree that sometimes stepping out of your comfort zone is something important because we might learn and experience things we never did before. However, people will worry about what happens next. Do they find a new peace within them from stepping out? Do they get to reach a higher place? Or will this choice push them into a valley so deep they will be unable to climb out of it?

Jer 2967 (Block F)

11/12/2020 07:29:12 pm

I strongly agree with this quote because if you keep doing same thing every time, the result will be the same. This is the reason why many people try to step out of their comfort zone to improve themselves. It's normal to make a mistake, so try to do new things instead of doing old thing!

Jay (English 12 Block E)

11/12/2020 08:12:49 pm

I totally agree with you Jer, everybody should at least try to step out of their comfort zone once. Just to see what it is like to be different. Maybe they like it, maybe they don't.

Henry English 12 Blk E

11/13/2020 07:47:07 am

I love your way of thinking on stepping out your comfort zone. That's a problem we're having in this world. Too many people are comfortable with staying in their comfort zone, therefore they always get the same result because they don't improve themselves.

Ryo (English 12 Block E)

11/12/2020 07:29:49 pm

Actions cause outcomes. If the person executing the action is the same, the outcome should be the same, bar some externalities shiting the outcome. There has to be innovation or inspiration in order to change things up and approach life from a different perspective or direction because if not life will be an indefinite copy and paste. People should be willing to try something new and face the consequences of their actions as to get a new outcome and possibly earn new rewards. You'll never know if you don't try it.

Jay (English 12 Block E)

11/12/2020 08:14:49 pm

Woah, what a way to explain. I agree with you that there has to be innovation or inspiration in order to change. And that people should change so they can explore more outcomes.

Myra (English 12 Block E)

11/12/2020 08:37:53 pm

I really like the direction you went with your interpretation of the quote. I like how optimistic you sound about how you should just change your perception of things instead of sticking to just one way of doing things the way you feel is right. I agree that trying new things can lead to earning new rewards and how you never know until you try.

Sally (AP research Block A)

11/14/2020 09:00:17 am

Your take on this quote is very interesting. Life is full of uncertainties and factors that could affect how you live your life, and you never know if you don't try. However, what if what you're already doing is working just fine? You have tried different methods and faced multiple consequences, but ultimately it's not pumping out 'good' results compared to the repetitive method you have been using your entire life. Would you argue that people should still try even if they find no success?

Jay (English 12 Block E)

11/12/2020 08:11:09 pm

This quote could go two ways, if what you've always done satisfies you then keep doing it, but if you don't change you will never know what more you can achieve. To many, sticking to what they're comfortable with is a way of life. But in order to explore more of the only life we have, change is required. Change is caused by intentional reason, we desire a different outcome that is why we change. And we keep changing until we're happy.

Rei Eng12 BLK E

11/12/2020 09:55:52 pm

Change is definitely necessary for a different outcome. But this doesn't necessarily mean that a different outcome would always need a change. Nothing is for sure a hundred percent in this world, and intentional nor unintentional, there would always be some sort of a minimal change in our actions that we think we are doing them the same.

Myra (English 12 Block E)

11/12/2020 08:17:37 pm

For me personally, I don't feel like we'll get what we've always gotten if we stick to doing the same things. If we stick to what we've always had done, whether the outcome was good or bad, there will still be that possibility of things going one way or the other. I feel like many things are up to fate and there are many instances where what you do will not affect what's about to happen.

Tham Ap research

11/12/2020 11:07:22 pm

Although I have a similar stance on this quote like you do, I don't particularly agree with leaving things up to "fate". What we choose to do affects what will happen to us in the future. I believe in "cause and effect" more rather than "fate".

Nick English 12 Block E

11/13/2020 10:05:34 pm

I agree with you. Sometime people are just scare to get out of their comfort zone, so they just stick with the same thing that they always did. But I don’t thing these things are up to fate since it was all our own decision.

Christine (English 11, Block B)

11/13/2020 10:39:09 pm

I somewhat agree with your idea on how if we stick to doing the same things we won't always get the same results. However, I believe if something happens for a long period of time, there would be similar results. There would only be different results if there's a change in the surrounding.

Wesley AP Research

11/13/2020 10:47:12 pm

I agree that we would not always get the same results if we do the same things over and over because it doesn't mean that the same things will always get us the same results. There are different possibilities to what results we will get but if there are no other possibilities and it gets us bad results then we should try another way.

palm english 12 block H

11/12/2020 08:18:26 pm

I strongly agree with the quote "If you always do what you've always done, you're going to always get what you've always gotten." This quote is very reasonable and relatable. It encourages one to step out of their comfort zone and try out different ways to achieve success. People should be open to new things and believe it or not their lives might become more successful. A straightforward example would be if you only workout a certain part of your body, then you will only get gains from that part and not others part. However, if you workout many parts of your body, then the gains will become more clear and visible.

Tham AP research

11/12/2020 11:05:43 pm

Is it not good to be specialized in a certain thing? I feel like if we were to do the same thing until we "master" (there is no perfect in this world) the thing we're doing, it adds value to the person. Being unique is very important in this world.

First 3182 Eng11 BlockH

11/12/2020 09:31:42 pm

For me, I do not fully agree with this quote. First of all, I think that doing the same thing and not moving on to try other things in order to gain more experience will make you stuck in the same position. You won't learn to achieve new things. Therefore, you should step out of your comfort zone then you will discover more widely. However, I also feel that keep doing the same thing can make you become better at that thing. The result might not be the same because you can learn from a mistake you made so it can be improved in the future.

Chanel (English 12 Block E)

11/12/2020 09:37:25 pm

I agree with the quote saying that if we keep on doing the same things for many times, the outcome would be the same. Or in other words, if we keep on doing the same things and not challenging ourselves, the end results would be the same, and we won't be able to improve ourselves. We should get use to getting out of our comfort zones and challenging ourselves to get a new outcome.

Sam English 12 Block E

11/13/2020 07:45:35 am

Result could be different from expectations. Even if a person has a good habit of learning, some of their test score might not look as perfect. Thus, if we keep on doing the same things for many times, there's a chance that a few result would vary from the rest.

Grace AP Research Block A

11/13/2020 11:35:57 pm

I get your example with good habit of learning/studying, however, I think if you have a certain type of studying style you know that works well with you, you should keep doing that. Yes the test results may vary from time to time, but by changing a studying style you know you strive with, I think it could affect the results way more than it would.

Ruby (AP Research Block A)

11/13/2020 10:04:02 pm

I think it is true that we should challenge ourselves to improve ourselves. Challenges make us grow and turn us into a better person.

Wesley

11/13/2020 10:43:45 pm

I don't think that if we do the same things over and over again the results would be the same because, sometimes we may improve over time and so if we do it again we may get better results. Though sometimes, if we don't try we would get the same results. But I agree that we should try to get out of our comfort zone.

Rei Eng12 BLK E

11/12/2020 09:50:24 pm

I have personally experienced myself making repeated actions without any change, which caused myself to perform better. At first. Whenever I start to make new actions, I tend to start improving gradually as I repeat my actions, but once I made to a point where I reach the process of diminishing returns, I just start to get worse at it. The key to keeping the best track for progress is to make changes in your actions right before we reach the point of dim inishing returns, so we can improve much efficiently in terms of certain tasks.

Poohpha English 12 Block E

11/13/2020 09:07:22 pm

Repeating action maybe leads to no progress. I feel like the best way to improve is to do things beyond your limit.

Kevin (AP Research Block A)

11/12/2020 10:15:44 pm

I think it's really easy to go on a negative route with this quote, and for good reason, so I want to talk about the positives. The quote is definitely right in that repeated actions will only get one repeated results. But in another sense, stability is also what many people seek. If someone is happy with a job their doing and the life they're living, then they'd be happy doing the same thing and accepting the same result.

Cindy ( AP Research Block A)

11/13/2020 02:19:45 pm

Reading your reply gave me a new perspective on this quote. Most of the parents I know, my own included, wants a stable life and job more than anything. I think it might be because they've been through so much already, that all they want is to live without too much conflict. Sometimes, a stable life is what many seeks for, but is unattainable.

Michelle (AP Research Block A)

11/13/2020 07:02:17 pm

I partially agree with you. It really depends on how people see their life. Some people doesn't ask for much in life, and therefore, they are happy with what they have already. While they may ask for a stable life by repeating the same actions to get repeated outcomes, I do believe that life don't work that way. Life is full of surprises, and a stable life is therefore unattainable.

Tham AP research

11/12/2020 11:03:48 pm

I mostly agree with the quote basically saying that we shouldn't stick to doing what we are comfortable doing or else we would never achieve something new. Taking risks is a part of life and we should all try to take more of it to progress in life. However, in science, we sometimes use the same method for three trials but the number is not always close to each other. Sometimes doing the same thing over can allow you to learn something new from it. Like what Ms.D said in the reading workout, reading the same text over and over again can generate different thoughts each and every time.

SaoLong

11/13/2020 08:08:39 pm

Change is good and all, but that doesn't mean remaining stagnant isn't a bad thing to do. It's sometime better to fully understand something without the risk of failing rather than risking failure for seeking new paths. In martial art's term, "I fear not the man who practiced 1000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick a 1000 times." (Bruce Lee)

Mulan (English 11 Block H)

11/12/2020 11:07:02 pm

"If you always do what you've always done, you're going to always get what you've always gotten." This quote is a really good one. I think that it is very true that if you are doing the same thing you will get the same result. If you are not an experiment and the data you get is all wrong but you still keep doing the same thing over and over again you will still get the same result. So we have to learn from our mistakes and do not do things the same way because you are going to get what you have always gotten.

Ganda (Research A)

11/13/2020 11:39:46 pm

I agree with you on the example. However, the future is unpredictable. Sometimes the things you've always done and added up. Like how studying works. I think this is applicable to your example. If you keep repeating your experiments, you might start to notice on what is off about it after repeating the same mistakes over and over. Nonetheless, you could also never realize it. That's why this quote could go both ways in my opinion.

Sam English 12 Block E

11/13/2020 07:43:40 am

Most of time, the amount of effort you put in will return as a reward. For instance, I always work hard and persist in certain kind of things, and my result are similar. I do a lot of study and preparation for each subject's tests, therefore my score and result are most likely to be good. However, there are times where luck plays a role in our life. Even when I don't have time to prepare for a test, I might still get a good result; hence, what you've always do would not guaranteed of what you've always receive.

Henry English 12 Blk E

11/13/2020 07:44:40 am

This quote is very relatable to our daily school life. There are people who puts in different amount of effort in schoolwork, and we can see that from their grades. People with high grades always put in more effort, while people with lower grades always put in lesser effort. Your grade will always remain the same if you always put in the same amount of work.

Jason Hsu

11/13/2020 08:01:18 am

Agree to you my man. Although I don't really agree with this quote, but I do agree with you that this is a very relatable to our daily school life!

Nick English 12 Block E

11/13/2020 09:52:40 pm

I totally agree you. It is true that if you work hard you will eventually get a good grade that you want. But sometime it is not, sometimes even if you work as hard as you can but you just can’t get the result that you wish.

Jacky (English 11 Block H)

11/13/2020 07:57:25 am

Repeating something over and over again may produce the same result. But you can improve on that something until it is perfected. Then if you seek different results, you can just change until you have the result you desire. Some people don't seek change, they seek stability and security.

pakawat (english 11 blk H)

11/13/2020 11:44:50 pm

I do agree, that after doing the same thing over and over again, you'll get better at it, and it is not wrong to keep doing the same thing, that's til it's time for it to change.

Aaron

I agree with u, cause in my opinion, people always need to work hard to get whatever they want, people can't just get everything free. And if we keep doing, we will get something back in the end.

Jason English 12 Block E

11/13/2020 07:59:30 am

I don't agree with this quote at all. Because in my own opinion, life is like a gambling. People couldn't foresee our future and what we will get. So in my own own experience. Working hard or wort on things we're working, won't let us get what we always gotten. Working hard is just making the opportunity of getting what we want or success higher. Some how, I think this quote should be "If you always do what you've always done, you're going to always have a higher chance to get what you've always gotten."

Saolong block E

11/13/2020 08:04:23 pm

It may be true that life can be unexpected, but that doesn't mean we can't predict it. If we manage to put as much puzzle pieces as possible and align them in a certain way, we could increase the probability of reaching the predicted destination.

Baibua (English 11 Block B)

11/13/2020 08:06:27 am

I agree that if we keep doing the same thing, the result will also be the same as before. For me, it’s okay to not move on and keep doing the same thing, but when the time comes, we will be ready on our own to try new things, that way we will get new results.

Barbie (English 11 Block B)

11/13/2020 08:31:38 am

I agree with this quote because i believe it is true if you always did the same thing, then you will always get the same thing that you gotten before. This is just like an example of if your study the same thing over and over again, you will understand that thing very well and you will get that thing. Doing the same thing and getting the same thing is not a bad thing, its just how people choose to get the same thing or they want the thing to be the same.

Cindy ( AP Research Block A)

11/13/2020 02:15:57 pm

I suppose that in a sense, the quote it very true. Not changing your ways even as the world progress will get you nowhere. In fact, you might not even get what you did before, you may no get anything at all. As everyone proceeds forward, you will stay in the same place, lagging behind. If this happens, you will never become other's first choice, because you are lacking in areas that others are not.

Ganda (Research A)

11/13/2020 02:25:04 pm

If you've done what you've always done, the results would have less chance of changing dramatically. However, I believe that nothing is without changes. From the picture provided, the quote was look upon as unfavorable as the rat would keep running in the same place in full loop going nowhere. However, life isn't just that. There are going to be unexpected things happening. For example, a person who've always work hard might be acknowledged by their boss after awhile of keeping up the same pace. The contrast also work as well, someone might not be acknowledged no matter how much they've done, which would make them realize that they need to make new change. Perhaps it could be joining activities that they've never joined.

Ning (English Block B)

11/13/2020 03:33:18 pm

I agree with this quote because doing the same things over and over again will typically lead us to get the same results. It’s easy for us humans to faith back into the same path and doing the same things. We wonder why things aren’t changing even though we rarely stray out of our current cycle. Just a simple change in our habits and stepping out of our comfort zone can make a world of a difference. I believe that we should always change to new better ways to get better results than we already have now.

Christine (English 11, Block B)

11/13/2020 10:36:06 pm

I agree with you on the fact that we should change to become better. I believe that it is a really positive way to allow yourself to gain motivation on the thing you are currently working on.

Aom (English 11 Block H)

11/13/2020 11:04:21 pm

Allie (English Block H)

I totally agree with how stepping out with our comfort zone would make a big difference. It's making us growing into a more mature person, therefore making us give and receive better results to ourselves and to the society around us. This is also a way to change the way you learn and get different results.

It is true that if you keep repeating on doing the same thing that you've always do, you eventually keep getting the same success, however, it's also a good thing to try new things every once in a while. It's okay to be good at specific things, however, if you're more open to new opportunities and ideas, you'll acquire more experience and eventually find success in other areas.

Michelle (AP Research Block A)

11/13/2020 07:05:15 pm

I agree with you. While repeating the same actions eventually bring us the same results; to improve and reach for new opportunities, it is definitely important to take new actions. By taking new actions, we gain new experiences and learn from those experiences. In fact, take the image as an example, if the guinea pig only keeps on running in its own little circle, it would not be able to see the world in another view.

Krystal Lin (English 11 Block B)

11/13/2020 06:33:54 pm

Some people always say "Why can't I get what I want?" This is basically because they haven't worked hard or made new attempts for what they want. For example, you want to lose weight, but you never exercise or make changes to the things you eat. How can you lose weight successfully? So we must dare to try and work hard for it.

Leah (English 11 Block H)

11/13/2020 11:53:31 pm

Bravery comes in the form of open-mindedness in some cases. As stated by your example on weight loss, one should be willing to admit the flaws and errors they may've done to contribute to failure towards weight loss. From such mistakes, the person could then learn to utilize new methods of reaching their desired goal.

Michelle (AP Research Block A)

11/13/2020 06:57:45 pm

I do not entirely agree with this quote. It is true that the key to success is to have a strong determination and perseverance in doing what should be done. Just like the guinea pig spinning in the wheel, trying hard to reach a goal; however, we should not assume or expect to be getting something just because we have always gotten it before. I strongly believe that doing something that we have always been doing will only prevent us from failure or fall behind. However, when we meet stronger competitors, we must do way more than we have always done, in order to get what we have gotten before.

SaoLong Block E

11/13/2020 08:01:43 pm

Things are always expected to change, no matter what the "things" is. Something that is always stagnant, will always be expected to be still. If things change, then something new will be bound to appear. The quote summarised states that if things doesn't change, then you can't expect a different result, which is very true. I agree with the fact that if you want a different result, then the situation leading to the result had to be tweaked a bit.

Mint (English 12 Block E)

11/13/2020 10:41:47 pm

I like the words you used to explain your thoughts, very creative. I also agree that with no change of how we do things, we can't expect a different result.

Poohpha English 12 Block E

11/13/2020 09:04:35 pm

I consider doing the same thing over and over again a failure. I find it very important if you do things that are beyond your limit in order to be more successful in life. However, I agree with quote, perfection is the perfect word to describe this action. If you keep on doing this thing over and over again, you will be able to master it. Just like doing SAT, if you keep on doing the same things on the test, you will definitely score a full score soon or later. But you will never get any new information from outside.

Mint (English 12 Block E)

11/13/2020 10:44:35 pm

I agree with you that we should challenge ourselves all the time to become a successful person. However, I don't agree with the part you said doing the same thing again and again is a failure. Because if we think that this is the best way for us to do something, and it's a success, calling it a failure wouldn't be so right.

Ruby (AP Research Block A)

11/13/2020 09:44:01 pm

I don't really agree with this quote. Doing the same things doesn't mean that you are going to get the same results. Take mixing paint as an example. The resulting color would always be slightly different even if I used the exact same colors. There would always be some changes everyday, so even if you are doing the exact same things that you normally do everyday, the results might be slightly different because of some external changes.

Grace AP Research Block A

11/13/2020 11:32:20 pm

I extremely like your analogy with mixing paint, in a way, you're saying that although you're technically "doing the same thing", you can't always 100% do it exactly the same, meaning it won't alway result in the same outcome.

Brendon

11/14/2020 08:27:57 am

Your analogy on the paint is very similar to the analogy I made when comparing this quote to doing science experiments, which I definitely enjoyed. Because of that I'll have to agree 100% with you, 10/10.

Nick English 12 Block E

I can relate to this quote, because I've always been putting the same amount of effort in school work, which lead me to always getting the same result. In way to imrpove myself, I have to change and step out of my comfort zone.

The only exception here is if you try your best. If you are doing your best you are doing the same thing, but you will see improvement eventually. However, if you do the same physical thing everyday, the results will be extremely similar.

Cho-Ching (English Block E)

11/13/2020 10:32:45 pm

I do not agree with the quote. If we do something over and over again, you may not get the same result every time. Even though if the step of doing it is the same, there can be an unforeseen event that can happen during the steps. For example, If I were to play a game of snake over and over again, it is not surprise that I would get the algorithm of the game and win every time. But once in a while, I may miss-click the arrow or get the timing wrong and losses the game. There are many outside factors that can affect you doing the steps.

Christine (English 11, Block B)

11/13/2020 10:34:02 pm

I agree and disagree, at first you may be able to explore all different types of outcomes you will get. However, as times goes on, you may start losing interest in whatever you are doing due to the fact that you are always getting the similar results. When someone can only do something for a long time, they would change things up, such as removing something for fun. For example, if someone is playing a game, they kept on winning and winning, and they started to get bored and tired, they may restart the whole thing and try new strategies again.

This quote applies to most things in life, but there are few unique things that this quote don't apply to. Sports is one thing that this quote does not apply to. If you get up 100 shots everyday will you get the same outcome? No, because persistency can sometimes get you to a lot of success.

Wesley AP Research

11/13/2020 10:40:16 pm

I think that this quote applies sometimes but other times it doesn't always apply. It is because the result that you get may be flawed and if you do it again, it may either be better or worse. But if it is the exact same thing with no other way to interpret the results, then it would definitely get you the same results. Though with mistakes you learn what you do wrong and try to do better in order to get better results. But if you don't do anything, you will not get results so you wouldn't know if what you did gets you the results you want or not.

I think that it's true if you do the same thing over and over again the result is not gonna change, except that your try harder in every time but you do the same work. For example: If you test SAT for 3 time the result will not be the same because you try harder and harder every time. Still if you don't try hard in the test but you get lucky in the test, your score might go up. This quote depend on what you are doing too.

I agree with you. Outside factors such as luck affect the outcome of an event. You may guess more correctly on one of the SAT test, resulting in higher scores.

It is true that if we always do the same thing, we’ll always receive the same things back. That’s why some people discover new ways of doing things to receive newer outcomes. Even though it’s hard to get out of the comfort zone, it may be worth it. You’ll never know unless you try, so just go with it.

This quote states that if we continue to do things the same way, we will always get the same result. I agree with this quote to a limit, because sometimes, change is not wanted. But, when change is desired, there has to be a change in our ways too. Usually, we can not expect the outcome to change if the process stays the same. It is cause and effect.

I do agree with the quote. Doing same thing will get the same thing as a cycle will get us to the same result, where we are satisfied from the first time that we did it. Often time we put the same effort in to it, this can be the answer to why we always get the same result instead of getting a better result out of it. Instead, changing your one little habit might a difference in your end result.

It is true If you always do what you've always done, you're going to always get what you've always gotten but if you alway do the things do always done then it wouldn't be fun. Life would be boring, my aunt work as an accountant. She told me that she did the same thing every single day, it's quite boring. I don't like being bored, I rather do something weird and memorable.

This quote express of how without any differences we wouldn't make any changes. That is true, because how can we make changes or get new outcomes when we're still doing the same thing over and over again. For example, we are taught the same way every single class, however when someone express a new way of teaching we would feel that something is changing. We would get different reactions from that particular class differently from the other classes. To conclude, I agree that by doing the same thing over and over we will get the same results we have.

I do agree, that doing the same thing will be producing the same result, and changing things would allow us to see new result.

I agree with you that doing the same thing would lead us to the same outcome. Without changing something, the outcome would be the same. For example, if we did not study for the test and failed, and we keep on not studying for the test, the outcome would still be the same, us failing the test.

I disagree and agree with this quote because in one perspective, if you you are hoping to achieve a certain objective but constantly try again and again with the same technique, nothing will ever be done or changed. But if you look at it again in another perspective, doing the same things does not always mean you get the same outcome, take practicing a music piece for an example. You are constantly playing and playing, but each and every time you play, you improve each time. Sometimes repetition is needed in life to get a exact result you want. So i feel like if we apply this to our life, we should take more risks.

I'm not really sure how your last sentence fits into your argument, but I can agree when you said, "repetition is needed in life to get an exact result." Take studying for example, we study, we read, it's repetitive, however we know that it works so we do it.

In the short-term, being consistent in our actions will always in a particular result. However, in the long-term, just because we do the same actions does not mean that we will get the same results every time. The world we live in is a living and unpredictable place, just because you are repeating your actions does not mean that others will also be repeating their actions too. A person may consistently donate to charities in hopes of improving the world, but that does not mean that he won't run into a shady charity that uses his money for harm instead. Thus, by only focusing on our actions and thinking that we are in full control of everything, we end up setting ourselves up for disappointment.

The statement states that if we keep doing the things we did before, we are going to get the same result. I agree with this quote because if we have the cause, we would have the effect as well. For example, we know that if we study hard for a test, our scores would be good, so we would keep doing it to get the same outcome.

pakawat (english 11 blk H)

I really do feel that if you don't try to make any changes then nothing will change. Everything will stay the same, and we'll stay with that for the rest of our life, stay where we are "there." Not moving, it's always going to be the same like that, sometime you'll feel that you want it to change. And sometime that it's better that way. I do feel that it's not about whether one want to change or not, but it's whether they have enough courage, whether they're willing to take to go for something else. There would be consequences for actions, some we could simply just try again, some just not, I don't know, but it's true that for all, whether you try to change what you do or not, there will be still be a result, whether it's going to the same or a new result, good or not.

I'm reminded of the SAT course I took earlier over summer. The teacher, instead of encouraging us to go over practice questions and memorizing techniques, provided us with different practice tests each week. Other than allowing us to retrieve our skills, I believe that the tests also serve the purpose of reinforcing us to try out different approaches of test taking, hence resulting in different test scores/outcomes most of the time.

Brendon (AP research Block A)

I think the quote depends on the context. For example, when doing a chemistry experiment, if you use the same substances everytime, then your results will always come out the same. However, even when doing science experiments, there are outside factors that we have to consider (such as room temperature, equipments, human error, etc.) that could always alter the results afterward. Doing the same thing does not always give you the same results.

I partly agree with this quote primarily saying that if we keep constantly working on the same discipline over and over again, then we wouldn't be able to achieve something new. On the other hand, this quote definitely doesn't work when it comes to educating an academic subject. Mathematics requires us to keep working on something that's specifically related to that topic in order to be able to make a full understanding out of it. Not only that, working on the same thing also help us by boosting the memorization skill out of that particular subject. Our world is fulfilled with facts that are consisted of CONS and PROS, including the statement this quote.

To be completely honest, I'm not sure I understand the deeper meaning behind this quote (assuming there is one). But I do agree with the surface meaning of the quote. Change comes from your actions and decisions. If you keep doing as you've always done and doesn't change, then you'll always get what you've always gotten, no matter if it's a good or a bad thing.

I do not fully agree with this quote, repetition is sometimes the best way to do things, since you know the outcome. It's the perfect middle ground, you don't get rewarded, yet you don't get punished; it's the Goldilock zone of life. While this is true, it is also true that repetition does not give you what you always gotten. Take communism for example, it has been tried again and again in many countries, but why did it fail in many places except for China?
