to refuse to change your position or opinion
自分の立場や意見を変えないこと (jibun no tachiba ya iken wo kaenai koto)
"She held her ground even when others disagreed."
"彼女は他の人が反対しても自分の立場を守った。" (kanojo wa hoka no hito ga hantai shitemo **jibun no tachiba wo mamotta**.)
to make exceptions; to modify rules slightly
to be more successful or advanced than others
to make an enormous effort
It’s wiser to be cautious than to take risks and regret late...
to be suddenly and strongly attracted to someone
to continue focusing on what needs to be done
