I'd like to talk about my maternal grandfather, who is one of the most opinionated people I've ever known. I've known him my whole life, obviously. Um, when I was a kid, I spent most of my time at my mother and father's house because my parents were too busy with their work at the time. My grandfather already had strong views on just about everything, whether it was politics, food, or housework. He really sticks to what he says and is incredibly difficult, almost impossible to change his mind. I respect him, though, because of his creativity and capability in fixing furniture and learning Chinese. It deserves to be admired. But I find this part of his personality kind of frustrating sometimes because he cannot always be right, but he always insists on his viewpoint. Sometimes he's willing to yell at others in order to protect his arguments. However, I find it really pointless to try to change his mind. So I always try to avoid arguing with him and respect his will as much as possible.
