steadfast
I like how in English we have a spectrum of words with fine shades of differences and how this one conjures up an admirable trait of resolve. On the other hand someone with this same trait that we do not agree with is considered stubborn, an unworthy trait. I do not know enough about other languages to ascertain if there is an abundance of what I refer to as these "two sides, same coin" words.

Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
