being headstrong is not a negative personality trait--Truthfully, some even find it admirable
for it symbolizes charm with wit, leadership and willfulness. However, one must not abuse
superiority for it sometimes blind one’s eye, not considerate to the voice of the others. One
must enjoy being headstrong however, one must also know when to settle with others. A
response was recorded from one of the respondents, supporting the idea of people knowing
when to exaggerate and when to sit still
