In many ways it this individual stubbornness and conviction that leads
people to do great things.... I could name many names as examples
throughout history but I'm sure that it would be redundant. (Although,
I should add, that individual stubbornness and conviction have also led
to some of humanities least admirable achievements as well... most
notably in regards to religious convictions.)
