Stubbornness vs. Persistence
You know that old joke about how long a minute is depends on which side of the bathroom door you're on?
I think stubbornness and persistence are like that. If you're sticking to what is right for you, you're persistent. If someone won't change their mind to agree with you, they're stubborn.

Not necessarily. People often admire someone else's persistence if it's not in direct competition with them.
