Talk of being stubborn!

Taureans are berated many times for being stubborn. The staunch supporters of this zodiac sign say that taureans are not stubborn, merely cautious and well-planned. However, the opposition says that stones will melt before a taurean lets go of his stubbornness.

For years, I believed that taureans may well be stubborn, and yet I felt that there was something amiss in the way people viewed stubbornness. The word "stubborn" seems to have a negative connotation; the very word conjures up the image of a person unwilling to abide by someone else's wishes.

This seemed like the anti-thesis of many taureans that I personally know. So then, what was the mystery here? Since I didnt have an explanation, I was uncomfortable with the subject really. I just implied "stubborn" to mean - determined and decisive. And that was it. But it used to rankle once in a while.

In the past week, however, I had the chance of discussing certain issues with a few people who seemed to be decidedly rigid. Now this is not stubbornness. This seemed just like plain rigidity. They didnt want change. No willingness to change, rather. The realization just hit me that this was my answer! Its believed widely that stubbornness is the same as rigidity, and thats where it derives its negative connotation. However, from what I have read they are really not the same.

For the most part of my life, I have always had the good fortune of having come across very accommodative, flexible people and so this concept seemed to have eluded me for so long. But now that I know, it almost seems like a discovery to me! And a huge relief, if I may say so myself! :-D

Wow, its been a long time since I came here last. Didnt feel the time fly!

I seem to be getting a hold of enacting my multiple roles here. As long as everything is running along, its fine. But I am sure, the volcano is bubbling up for an eruption soon. Saddle up!

Need to get up and go on the R&D! Soon!

Vista IExplorer has a strange problem; it doesnt accept "exception" entries separated by ; (as it claims) in LAN settings and instead, chooses to forget all other LAN settings also that have been made alongside. Resulting in NO access to intranet sites.

Workaround: Google and download Mozilla Firefox. In any case, I love the tabbed browsing feature of firefox!
