Persistence and Stubbornness are just different words for the same personality trait. The former is used when looked at a positive light while the latter is used in the negative.
You're persistent if your project succeeded but you're stubborn if you keep at it despite unfavourable outcomes.
- javcasas 1y agoSo the difference between the two is just luck? I apply to a thousand job offers, get rejected every time => I'm stubborn. I apply for job #1001, I get the job => I'm persistent.
- y04nn 1y agoI would say that you are persistent if you keep getting rejected but keep improving but using feedback and you would be stubborn if you don't change a thing while keeping being rejected.
- SenHeng 1y agoYes. You were stubborn for applying for jobs beyond you. Your persistence led you to finding that amazing job.
- esseph 1y agoGot selected => lucky Would not have had a chance to be lucky if not => persistent
- scubakid 1y agoThe way I see it, persistent founders keep looking for evidence and adapt / adjust course based on what they learn. Stubborn ones just keep going, even when there are clear signals that it's time to step back and refocus.
