The number one predictor of success is grit, tenacity, persistence, fortitude, etc. - These all sound like positive ways of positioning stubbornness. How can stubbornness be both good and bad at the same time? Well, it’s not… its good and bad in different situations, and we’ll try to help tease out exactly when its good and bad at this event.

I’ll review some quotes on stubbornness, analyzing each one one at a time, and then go about trying to create a “general rule” about when stubbornness is good vs. bad. Here are the quotes:

Come see if you can offer some wisdom to the group that I may be missing, or learn some wisdom I may have to offer, either one we expect nothing less than for you to form your own opinion based on your own critical thinking skills, which we’ll try to help you develop in this event like so many of our others.
