Just thinking what is the different between these 2 words.
Persisent:
1. Refusing to give up or let go; persevering obstinately.
2. Insistently repetitive or continuous: a persistent ringing of the telephone.
3. Existing or remaining in the same state for an indefinitely long time; enduring: persistent rumors; a persistent infection.
Stuborn:
1. Unreasonably, often perversely unyielding; bullheaded.
2. Firmly resolved or determined; resolute. See Synonyms at obstinate.
3. Characterized by perseverance; persistent.
4. Difficult to treat or deal with; resistant to treatment or effort: stubborn soil; stubborn stains.
Glad to know I am not stuborn yet.
