We all have dreams but not all of us have the endurance to accomplish them. All of us get abandoned on the journey to our goals but not all of us are stubborn enough to keep moving no matter what. Though failure may hold others back, the stubborn permit nothing to get in their way. Others have rise to the top not because the law of gravity was not existent but they defied all odds including gravity. When you see a man decorated with all sorts of achievements, it is not because his resistance was lesser but… his persistence was greater.
A well-achieved man is a stubborn man― very stubborn.
A lot people give a lot of reasons why something can’t be done, the stubborn throw a challenge to themselves to get that same thing done at all cost. Where others see hindrances, the stubborn can only see ways to solve this problems.
Do you know what Thomas Edison went through, he made a 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at trying to create the electric bulb until he finally hit the jackpot? Do you have that kind of spirit to keep trying until you succeed. William Golding’s hit literature, “Lord of the Flies”, was actually unaccepted 20 times before it was finally published. J. K. Rowling’s bestseller “Harry Potter” had similar experience. Sometimes, when we fail, the stubborn man inside of us is confronted. When we fail, we dare ourselves to do more. When we give ourselves another chance to try after we have failed, we give ourselves another chance to succeed.
Failure is the same road that leads to success so if you encounter it, know that success is hanging around! Try again.
No matter how times you fail, you keep trying until you succeed. Don't give up, keep knocking on that door it will surely open. Sometimes is just a matter of time.

All the successful men who have made it did extraordinary things for themselves and humanity had one trait running through their the gene called stubbornness! They had the courage to persist a little more to try one more time after they didn't succeed. While others are irritated by failure, great men are encouraged by the same downfall. They stubbornly focus until they have achieved their ambition.
It’s only stubbornness that will challenge one to leave their comfort zone to take on greater challenges. How many of us can leave our comfort to take on new challenges, only few if you want to make it you need to make sacrifices. Only a stubborn man will continuously chase after a dream he has failed severally at. No matter the raging storms, stubbornness will always find a way. Do you know Donald Trump got featured in the hit movie, Home Alone. Apparently, the director had gone to shoot some parts of the movie in his hotel.

He persisted he wanted to be part of the cast. The director persisted but he insisted that if he would be allowed, they’d not have to pay for using the hotel. The more the director resisted, the more he insisted. Finally, the director gave in. That the power of stubborness. Donald was featured in the movie. Little wonder his trait of stubbornness has led him everywhere, even making him the president of US. It pays to be stubborn― very stubborn. Resistance only gives in to perseverance!
Our dreams will only materialize if we will be a little stubborn. If we are willing to get up anytime we fall and try once again, success will soon smile at us. Success will only smile upon those who are stubborn and dont want to give up after numerous failures. Keep pushing hard until you reach your destination. Downfall will always test our persistence. No matter how many times life knocks our dreams down, we need to be stubborn enough to get up again strongly. We must never give up.
Mostly, a lot of us give up too easily. In the face of a few disappointments, we give up on our dreams. When our plans come tumbling down, we get tired. Listen. The trait that separates the great from the little is that the former is brutally stubborn while the latter is not. Life has no memory of those who find every excuse to give up.
Carrying your dreams to the end requires some unreasonable determination. Not everyone would understand you because stubbornness oftentimes doesn’t make sense to the public. You may not have the support of the society but you must know that nothing great was ever made out of public opinion, some will even discourage you not pursue your dreams. All you need is your own unapologetic opinion to move on whatever regardless. You need to focus on what you are doing and not to give up.

Extraordinary people are very stubborn, so if you want to make it you must be very very stubborn. You must be prepared to make a vow to go all out and make it― no sitting on the wall. You must be ready to face life boot for boot, you must be ready for whatever comes your way, whether you fail or succeed you need to learn something from your journey. Times without number, you would have to keep fighting even with the last of your strength. Stubbornness knows no excuse!
Success won't present itself on a silver platter. You need to work for it tirelessly. The one at the top of the ladder faced the same (if not worse) challenges the one at the bottom faced when climbing. However, what distinguishes between them both is the yearning to stubbornly keep climbing despite the fear of falling.
Failure doesn’t mean “stop work”. It means “try again”. Failure is the experience we need to succeed. When you fail, you learn… and try again. When your dreams crash, you reassemble them… and try one more time. You don’t assemble and discard them. When you fail keep trying until you succeed.

Stubbornness will give it one more try instead of discarding it into a bin.
Today, many great dreams and talents, have been wasted down life’s bin because those who carried such ambitions were not patient enough― they were not stubborn enough. Stubborn people change the world. They set the standards for others to break. They literally run this world! They move mountains. They make the world go around. It doesn’t matter how many times you may have failed at something. If there’s any trait you would want to add up to your life this year, be stubborn, very stubborn and don’t apologize for it. Some people left this platform because their first post didn't earn them much. Wow. Nothing good come easy, you need to stay focus be consistent, that's the way forward with that spirit you can make it in life. But what I need to be more stubborn is your upvotes. I want to be very stubborn. This is @jakemore from #teamghana doing what I do best. Thanks for reading.
@jakemore wonderful post... i realize myself that i m not stubborn bit determined is right word i will use.... and yes flexible to your method... keep the good things and develop the art of ignoring things... one beautiful saying if you throw stone on each dog that bark chances are you never reach to your destination
Look at the most successful people, their journey wasn't smooth they went through a lot but still they didn't give up simply because they were stubborn. You need to be stubborn to through all this to make it in life. You need stubbornness in your genes.

And that us why we need to have reasons for doing something but not excuses for not doing so...resteemed
I agree with your post. Some people think dream is what we see when we sleep but I think otherwise. A dreams what does not allow you to sleep; ambitions, goals, desires etc.
