There is an elder in our family who is quite stubborn and wont listen to what others have to say even if it is for his own good.
He believes that everyone needs to listen to him because of his age and refuses to see the changes that have happened in the world. He thinks he knows it all.
The people who have to deal with him are going mad because of his attitude.
He even refuses to see his doctor now despite his health problems.
Listening to all the stories about him from his children I am so grateful that my parents were reasonable and would at least listen to us before they decide on what they want to do.
Are you stubborn? do you have someone like this in your family?

@crazyhorseladycx I guessed so. 
I would think you are probably set in your ways.

I am stubborn. I come from a long line of "stubborns". I have stubborn grandchildren. Sometimes there is sense involved and sometimes there is not. If you keep on him or make a deal with him perhaps he will come around.

That reminds me of one in an office "the know-all".
When a new staff joined, he was told about this character and he said he knows how to tackle such.
At the first opportunity, he told the "know-all" that his attitude is not liked by others.
His response was quite typical of him "I know that too".
I listen to others but make my stand clear. I am ready to be flexible if the need arises - siva
