Say it loud, I'm stubborn and proud.

Lately, I have been reading around that stubbornness is a negative trait.
I consider myself to be fairly stubborn. Around 75%. Let me tell you, being stubborn is the make up of who I am and how I operate. I do what I want, when I want, and there is nothing you can do to stop me.
Sound like a bad thing? Maybe, maybe not. Stubborness is not be confused with being selfish. I have always lent a helping hand out to those in need. (I drove to Santa Barbara once at 11PM to pick up a friend who crashed his motorcycle...)

Stubborness is part of my drive. I don't like people telling me what to do. This is part of preserving my individuality. You can't change me, or who I am.
If I want to go on a trip somewhere, I will go and I will not wait. Sometimes, I am like a roaming bull in the field.
Bottom line, I see this "weakness" as a strength.

I think that every progressive leader had to BOLDLY go where no man has dared to go before him. However, this "stubborn" trait should be used as a super-power. For instance, this strength should not apply for every situation in your life. I would praise artistic confidence, or "steadfast-ness" in terms of personal exploration. But I would call it foolish to apply this non-malleable trait into the home, or other "daily" routines. A word of caution, if you lean further forward you would reach arrogance.
