What is the difference between paranoia and stubbornness?

Having identified the correct path and moving forward bravely, not relaxing until the goal is achieved is persistence; insisting on going your own way, not hitting the wall and not looking back in the wrong direction, is stubbornness. Persistence and stubbornness are sometimes like two sides of the same thing, and the criterion for determining why persistence is persistence and why stubbornness is stubbornness is just the beginning, that is, whether the direction chosen is correct or not.

This seems to have to wake you up. This is probably what the saying goes, one mistake leads to eternal hatred. When I was a child, I heard a fable about a grasshopper who refused to listen to the advice of the ants and was stubborn and refused to store winter food. As a result, he starved to death. Stubborn people are like grasshoppers. They often decide what they think is right and cannot listen to the opinions of others, so that they are eventually punished for failure. I couldn't help but be startled again. It turns out that I am often like this and stubborn. I also seemed to see a guy in the distance who I called "failure" smiling and waving to me. It was scary.

Let’s talk about persistence. Long-distance runners on the sports field who work hard and keep moving forward are called persistence; setting goals and working hard and never giving up is called persistence; revolutionaries who are willing to sacrifice everything for the revolution and still have no regrets are called persistence. The persistent spirit has always been praised by the world. Perseverance is the heroic aspiration of "If Loulan is not destroyed, it will never be returned", persistence is the ironclad spirit of "keeping the youth alive in the world", and the heroic spirit of "leaving a loyal heart to illuminate history". Persistence is a great spirit in this world, and the world is wonderful because of it. Because of persistence, countless touching things are constantly being performed every day, intertwined into a gorgeous picture.

Persistence and stubbornness are not completely isolated. The public security officers waiting to catch criminals are out of persistence and are praised by the world; the stupid farmers who wait and wait are out of stubbornness and only leave a laughing stock for the world, which may be called "a thousand-year smile". From this comparison, we can easily discover a truth: even if the behavior is the same, sometimes the final properties of things will be very different just because of the different objects of action. Therefore, stubbornness and perseverance can only perform their own duties, and must not overstep their way. Otherwise, if waiting for the rabbit becomes persistence and the police stationing around becomes stubborn, wouldn't it be a big joke?

I once read a sentence in "Reader": Sometimes heaven and hell are only one step away. So here I have to say that there is often only a slight difference between persistence and stubbornness, but the result is always a thousand miles away. Perseverance is a virtue, while stubbornness is a vice. There may be many reasons for the different definitions of persistence and stubbornness, but sometimes it may be just a beginning or an object.

Think about it every day, whether you are stubborn again; think about it every day, whether you are practicing persistence. Never give up forever, I like this sentence, never give up, it is the embodiment of persistence. Work hard and persist in pursuing your dreams; if you work hard, success is not far away from you.
