To those who feel that I am stubborn, I realise the feeling.....

I offer Dilbert's 5 Forces (he received a tenured position at the Cuncush School of Management in March 2003)

Attitude

I can please only one person per day.
Today is not your day.
Tomorrow's not looking good either

Stance

A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.

Open-ness

My reality check bounced

Perspective

The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth

Outlook

I don't have an attitude problem, you have a perception problem.
