stubbornness, pride and impatience makes the worst combination.
1) they don't listen
2) they can't take in people's advice
3) they flare up easy while defending their own views, and that leads back to point 1.
it is going to take a lot to get through to anyone with all the traits. =/ but sometimes i think its linked. like a person won't be impatient if they didn't want things their way would they? and that, is pride and stubbornness is it not? so, maybe solving one problem can unlock more solutions than we know it.
Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice. -Proverbs 13:10
Must we take advice from someone we truly disagree with?
The danger is being too proud/stubborn to listen. A proud person is argumentative, quarrelsome and automatically rejects advice. Wise people listen to counsel and consider it before deciding to accept or reject it.
i hope i'm not one.
hiyak! but i think at any one point in time, most of us can be in that situation without knowing it. its true.
receptivity and humility just sounds a whole lot better.
