If you don't wish to share I do understand but the request is to encourage others to tackle their personal issues, then lolly [little] steps to helping the world. Many these days seem overwhelmed and my idea is to encourage by examples

I re read my post now, after reading your response. I found my post is a hard one , which may sound rude to you , sorry for that if it really sounded rude to you.
Understand your intension , so sharing a couple of them
First when I got admitted to my unversity , everyone around me was telling that the subject I got admitted is not a good subject ,has no future etc etc (in my country system studying = possiblity of getting good job). More they were telling that more I was getting determined I will do something and finally succeeded. Then I saw the voice around me changed....
I got a job even before I finished my Masters, again started hearing the job I joined is worthless , it may give some money but no recognition (in country best jobs are govt. bureacratic job as the have honour , power & opportunity of making fortune and you know the way of doing that). Family freinds were telling me I was good enough to get those shiny jobs which I percieved as the major root of corruption and making people's life miserable. So again my stubornness came up so I sticked to that job, now all consider I really did good...!!
Wish this is what you wanted to hear (do I sound to be stuborn from what I described ?) :)

Yes, these are the type of 'challenges' I was hoping for .. to continue on your path despite others opinions. To stay true to your own values - well done! And I feel it holds more weight coming from someone like yourself, thanks for re-considering.

Well that's my next challenge now to overcome, so that I become less stubborn :)

Do not see being stubborn as an unhealthy thing, it is often a strength to help us through such challenges. I am also stubborn, and I do not see it as a characteristic I wish to overcome ... just try to be humble when my stubbornness causes grief. I tend to think of it as persistence.

You know whenever I tried to get rid of my that characteristic stubbornness (would rather say strictness) found, I am not up to the my ownself. So like you trying to be humble ,when I am stirct about the principle which found need to be in place.
Lot of time I saw how spineless people become just for their own benefit or to just save self from trouble ..... I don't want to be such spineless though not sure whether really have any strong spine !!!
That's good , we two sharing same kind of trait, talking about that ...... :)
