Unfortunately, dogged, single-minded cussedness is trait shared by many people, period.
Hmm. You think so? I know people can get vocal when a subject comes up, and they often pursue their p.o.v cussedly and sometime doggedly over the short term, but I think they usually drift off to pastures new when the novelty wears off.
Single-mindedness over the long term I have found to be a fairly rare commodity in general, but where it does present itself, there is usually something more than just cussedness behind it.

The "good enough" maybe good enough for the now, and perfection maybe unobtainable, but that should not preclude us from striving for perfection, when time, circumstance or desire allow.

As with anything one person's positive trait is another person's negative trait. In job interviews and performance reviews, recently (last 10 years) the questions: What do you consider to be your strengths? and What do you consider to be your weaknesses? are always asked. I think I was fortunate enough to learn in my youth that the answer to both is the same thing.
