Sometimes people are so stubborn, they don't wanna hear anything we say because they think they are right. Do you think we can change other people? How can we change other people?

we cannot change other people,and other people cannot change us either but influence truly. we influenced and were influenced from time to time. so having a mind of influencing may help you persuade others...

you are definitely right..... i noticed same thing and that's what i hate about people...... they thought they already know everything and they dont want to accept any opinion from other especially if those other are inferior to them. i remember the phrase from the bible something like "lucky those who are humble who are knowledgeable yet claims need to learn more, than to those who are lack of knowledge that declare their selves an intillegent one".... ijust cant remember the exact phrase but i think it sounds like that.. ^_^

if we want to then I suppose it is we, also, who think that we are right. I think we do have an influence over others, whether ot the good or the bad our actions effect others and sometimes to change, maybe changes so small we do not perceive of them - or so slow in the coming that we have gone on at the time of the change. what we should not do, I think, is expect to change people with a big dramatic outcome, that is very prideful on our part...the person has to desire the change for himself.
