THE RIGHT KIND OF STUBBORN

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Persistence and obstinance may seem similar, but they're different kinds of behavior. Obstinate people won't listen - that's not true of all determined people. Persistent people are attached to goals, whereas the obstinate are attached to their ideas about how to reach them. Obstinate people are often disproportionately likely to be attached to the wrong details. Persistence often requires one to change their mind. Successful people are often most engaged when you disagree with them.
