Or picture a stubborn horse digging in its heels, not wanting to budge. Or people so sure of themselves they don't want to hear or do anything different.
Sometimes being stubborn is a good thing. If you have thought a certain way or done things the same way for a long time, you have made up your mind, and perhaps your ideas are right. However, you might want to think about the reasons you believe the way you do and be ready to explain your stance to others.
Allowing a new idea to be considered may involve realizing the old ideas could be improved. Easier to keep thinking and doing the same old same old. But trying to understand other opinions helps us understand other people. We may or may not change our minds.
If we simply dig in our heels, we may get stuck and never proceed forward.
