Define the word stubborn, and is it a good thing to be stubborn?

The dictionary says that stubborn means: 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. Ok, well imagine if no one in the word was stubborn, everyone would be obedient, and that would be boring! But mostly being stubborn is good, to a certain extent. There is a place to stop though, you should not be stubborn at every single thing a person says, that would be argumentative, and that is not good, what a lot of people in the world need to know is how to tell stubbornness from being plain argumentative, so many people think they are being stubborn when they are being argumentative. Now though I need to tell you what the difference is, ask yourself, are you standing up for something you believe in, or are you standing up for everything, even if you think it might be bad, just standing up for it for the sake of it? Men in the war were stubborn, they stood being tortured, not just for the sake of it, because they were brave, because it was for their country, because it was the right thing to do, it wasn't easy, but it was right. Sometimes thought it is useless to be stubborn, if the object is impossible to reach, like in this quote: In the face of an obstacle which is impossible to overcome, stubbornness is stupid.

Simone de Beauvoir

In conclusion, stubborn is a good thing, if you are doing it for the right reasons.

There's a fine line between stubbornness and the positive side of that, which is dogged determination.- Jeb Bush
