    упёртый - word with negative connotation for stubborn, pursuit of one's goal
    the expression is Упёртый, как баран = Stubborn as a ram (meaning is negative, ram being a symbol of stubborn stupidity in Russian culture)

    So the implication is: One has to be stubborn in pursuit of one's goals in life, but not too stubborn in a ramlike fashion.
