Question: Why do you describe yourself as stubborn?

Hello Huan

I sometimes have a habit of refusing to give in. This can be either a good or a bad thing. On the good side I have multiple sclerosis and use a wheelchair but I absolutely refuse to give up using my brain in the work that I do. It’s physically quite hard for me but the thought of sitting at home and watching daytime television is horrible. Getting a job can be a lot harder for people with disabilities it was something I knew I had to do.
On the bad side I know that I resisted using a wheelchair for longer than was useful because somehow walking seemed more important. It’s very important never to give up until you have to but I can actually do more in a wheelchair. There is always a balance to be found which has got to be a personal thing.
Also do not get between me and my chocolate. I’m not commenting whether this is bad or good stubbornness.
