Why Are Some Self-Made Successful People So Stubborn?

 

“I rose from humble origins with a toxic family background. When I was 18 years old, I dropped out of college to support my family and joined the Indian Air Force. I had to struggle hard to earn my livelihood. I sacrificed my personal time, invested a portion of my monthly salary and resources, and acquired several qualifications including DME, BSc, MA, MBA, PGDCLL, and PGDBM. I earned my Ph.D. in 2011. I understand the pain of life. I am a self-made man. I have come to know that there's no such thing as a free lunch.” ―Professor M.S. Rao

 

Those who are self-made and achieve success through struggles and sacrifices are often found to be stubborn. At times, it becomes difficult for others to cope up with them. Being stubborn is a double-edged sword. It is good in a few ways and bad in many ways.

 

People who start from scratch without anybody’s support understand the ground realities. They have a solid foundation and understand the challenges and overcome them successfully.

 

You must be stubborn in your core principles and philosophies and be flexible to get along with others to lead your life mindfully.

 

Takeaway: Change yourself to change the world.
