It represents a person who is stubborn in reaching his goal, despite the difficulties that arise along the way (AI art).
We have the word stubborn. This word is actually painful for me because it reminds me of mistakes that I have made. Its meaning comes from the Latin obstinatus. It is primarily an adjective that means persevering. It is also an adjective that in Costa Rica, Cuba and Venezuela means annoyed or fed up And in Nicaragua it means angry or furious. But in general terms this word is used when referring to a person who is stubborn, who is stubborn.
Despite showing him his mistakes or that he is not right about something, he continues to believe in what he believes even though he is being shown that he is not right and that he is wrong.
Source of the definition
An example of someone who is stubborn can be a person, a politician who is determined to change the government model of a country, despite the fact that it has been shown historically that this model does not work, it is not useful. So it can be said that this is an example of someone stubborn.
But I come to talk to you about how being obstinate has sabotaged me in life.
To talk to you about this, I go back a long time when I was very young, when I thought that studying in a big school was going to be something very positive for me, something very good. And at that time, I'm talking about the eighties approximately. I thought that studying at a very famous school for priests in the town where I lived was going to be something very good for me. And I was stubborn and determined that I had to study at that school. It turned out that living the experience of being in a classroom with more than fifty people was not something that was really pleasant and that I liked for me because I was a boy. I was just entering adolescence and the experiences I lived told me that it was not appropriate for me, that I was a shy, withdrawn person and that I had to be studying in institutions that had fewer people, where I could feel more comfortable.
However, I was stubborn in that I wanted to live and experience that experience, which later led me to realize that my grades were not good in that school for priests and I began to believe that moving to another school that was smaller was going to be the best for me. And it turned out that they spoke to me very well about a school that was all over the front, which was a school for elite people, with a lot of economic power. Already my parents, due to presumptions of the time, wanted me to rub elbows with me or to associate with very influential people. And they, this time, were the ones who were stubborn about it.
Precisely, the idea was not the best because precisely meeting all those influential people brought chaos to my life. Knowing all the vices and all the illegalities to which they dedicated themselves. And it was a very dark stage in my life, which this time due to the obstinacy of my parents and my obstinacy in pretending to think that I would do better there, sabotaged my life and led me down very dark paths, which led to a dark stage of my life that taught me that you have to be prudent and make the right decisions. And that being stubborn, in the end, never leads to anything good when it comes to having to do what's best for yourself in life
Tenemos la palabra obstinado. Esta palabra en realidad es dolorosa para mí porque me recuerda errores que he cometido. Su significado viene del latín obstinatus. Es primeramente un adjetivo que significa perseverante. También es un adjetivo que en Costa Rica, Cuba y Venezuela significa
fastidiado o harto. Y en Nicaragua significa enojado o furioso. Pero en líneas generales esta palabra se usa cuando se hace referencia a una persona que es obstinada, que es terca.
A pesar de mostrarle sus errores o que no tiene la razón en algo, sigue creyendo en lo que cree a pesar de que se le está demostrando que no tiene la razón y que está equivocado.
Fuente de la definición
Un ejemplo de alguien que esté obstinado puede ser una persona, un político que está empeñado en cambiar el modelo de gobierno de un país, a pesar de que se le ha demostrado históricamente de que ese modelo no funciona, no es útil. Entonces se puede decir que esto es un ejemplo de alguien obstinado.
Pero yo vengo a hablarte de cómo el ser obstinado me ha saboteado a mí en la vida.
Para hablarte de esto me remonto a mucho tiempo atrás cuando era muy joven, cuando pensaba que el estudiar en un colegio grande iba a ser algo muy positivo para mí, algo muy bueno. Y en aquel tiempo, estoy hablando de los años ochenta aproximadamente. Yo creía que estudiar en un colegio de sacerdotes muy famoso de la localidad donde yo vivía, iba a ser algo muy bueno para mí. Y yo estaba obstinado y empeñado en que tenía que estudiar en ese colegio. Resultó que el vivir la experiencia de estar en un aula con más de cincuenta personas, no fue algo que en realidad fuera agradable y que me gustara para mí porque era un muchacho. Estaba apenas entrando en la adolescencia y las experiencias que viví, me indicaron que no era lo apropiado para mí, que yo era una persona tímida, retraída y que tenía que estar estudiando en instituciones que tuvieran menos cantidad de gente, donde yo me podría sentir más a gusto.
Sin embargo, yo estaba obstinado en que quería vivir y experimentar esa experiencia, lo que me llevó luego a darme cuenta de que mis calificaciones no eran buenas en ese colegio de sacerdotes y empecé a creer que cambiarme a otro colegio que era más pequeño iba a ser lo mejor para mí. Y resultó que me hablaran muy bien de un colegio que estaba en todo el frente, que era un colegio para personas de la élite, de mucho poder económico. Ya mis padres, por presunciones de la época, pretendían que me codeará o que me relacionara con gente muy influyente. Y ellos, esta vez, fueron ellos quienes estaban obstinados en eso.
Precisamente, la idea no fue la mejor porque precisamente conocer a todas esas personas influyentes me trajo el caos en mi vida. Conocer todos los vicios y todas las ilegalidades a los que ellos se dedicaban. Y fue una etapa muy sombría de mi vida, que esta vez por obstinación de mis padres y por la obstinación mía de pretender pensar que allí me iba a ir mejor, me saboteo la vida y me llevó por caminos muy sombríos, que llevaron a una etapa oscura de mi vida que me enseñó, que se tiene que ser prudente y tomar las decisiones correctas. Y que el ser obstinado, a final de cuentas, nunca lleva a nada bueno cuando se trata de tener que hacer lo mejor para ti en la vida.
