4 Reasons Stubborn Kids Grow Up To Be The Most Successful Adults by ogahlouiskid18(m): 5:33pm On Jul 03, 2015 |
1. They’re determined. Being stubborn automatically means you’re determined, and at times, to a fault. No matter what, you know what you want and you will find a way to get it. Weighing the risks and finding out which avenue to pursue in order to get your desired result is something that comes as second nature. Most saw our determination as insubordination, but that is only because the word “no” really didn’t mean “no” to us. It just meant we had to find another way to get someone to say “yes.” This lovely characteristic gave all stubborn children excellent people- reading skills; after all, you had to figure out the person who was most likely to give you what you wanted. 2. They’re fiercely independent. Our independence is one of our strongest qualities. We live by our own rules. Growing up, help was the last thing you wanted from people. I mean, why would you need someone’s help when you could do it all yourself, or so we used to think. We are independent to the point that it drives people crazy. We hold high expectations of ourselves, so as children, we would throw the biggest fits if anyone tried to lend a hand. It never mattered if we actually could do it ourselves or not; the point was we felt we could and no one could tell us any different. Our independent nature taught us to be self-reliant, both emotionally and physically, early in life. That has only become stronger with age. We never let anyone else determine our self-worth. We know who we are, where we stand and we don’t budge unless we want. 3. They’re natural-born leaders. Being stubborn meant you tended to be a natural born leader since you always found yourself in charge of others. When you’re young and a leader, the word “bossy” appears in more than one occasion. And, why shouldn’t it? After all, you had a way of telling people what and how to do certain things correctly. When we were young, this proved to be one of the difficult attributes to handle for most adults because it meant we couldn’t be controlled. 4. They’re opinionated. Whether you want to hear it or not, we have opinions and we will most likely share them, especially if we are asked. We have specific ideas of what we consider right and wrong, and we don’t mind fighting for our views. We stick to our opinions, whether you agree or not. Our blunt and honest answers hurt us when we’re young because our brain filters fail to work at full capacity; we end up saying things we shouldn’t say aloud. This leads to many awkward moments, hurt feelings and confused looks of, “Well why did you ask me if you weren’t ready for the answer?” |
