In the face of an obstacle which is impossible to overcome, stubbornness is stupid. Simone de Beauvoir Stubbornness - having or showing dogged determination not to change one's attitude or position on something, especially in spite of good arguments or reasons to do so. Unfortunately, many people wear stubbornness as a badge of honor. Some claim it to be a superpower that helps lead them to success. Unfortunately, there are qualities in stubbornness that we need to keep (perseverance) and others we need to release (lack of adaptability). The stubbornness I had as a child has been transmitted into perseverance. I can let go but I don't give up. I don't beat myself up about negative things. Phylicia Rashad
