Being stubborn does more good than harm. It does! Atleast for me.
Whenever I am lethargic or in "should I or should I not" zone, I recall this incident of my childhood.
I was about five years, the age when ice creams meant everything . An ice-cream vendor was passing across our street. My mom was in my neighbour's house and I wanted money to get an ice-cream and I wanted it so badly that I ran to my neighbor's house and persuaded my mom to give money. Then I rushed out and saw the ice cream waala at the end of the street. I did not give up. I ran madly on the street and fell down :D. Result. No ice cream. A scar on forehead forever.

As I now recall that incident, I somehow feel both silly and proud. Silly for being adamant and getting a scar on the face forever for an ice cream and proud because I know I will never give up. Though I did not get that ice cream, I know I did not hesitate to run after things I want even as a child.
Adamancy and fear are wonderful things. Adamancy for getting what I want and the fear of losing things if I wont give my best always push me towards my goal driving my lethargy away.
