The productive extreme ...

Obstinacy may seem strange 

Carries deep rooted strength.

Perceived fixated in a frame 

Not ready to change or be considerate!

Flexible - not approach or in act

Stubborn in decisions, one takes.

Trait to cultivate in a certain way,

Holding on to the point till the end.

The productive extreme called perseverance 

Capacity to wait till the time to reward get.

Dig deep or draw from up there

Fruits can be earned only through firm steady stand...

Thank you...

What is obstinacy? How can one use it best?
It is the wrong use of a great quality--perseverance.
Make a good use of it and it will be all right.
Be obstinate in your effort towards progress, and your obstinacy will become useful.

The most essential quality is perseverance, endurance, and a — how to put it? — a kind of inner good mood that helps you not to get discouraged, not to become sad, and to face all difficulties with a smile. There is an English word which expresses this very well - cheerfulness. If you can keep this within you, you resist much better, you fight much better, in the Light, these bad influences which try to prevent you from progressing.

It is by persevering that one conquers difficulties, not by running away from them. One who perseveres is sure to triumph. Victory goes to the most enduring.

Perseverance is patience in action. TM
