I'd like to talk about my maternal grandfather, who is one of the most opinionated people I've ever known. Well, I have known him all my life. I'm so fortunate to know about his personality, his habits. When I was a kid, I spent most of my time in my grandparents' house because my parents were often preoccupied with their work at the time. My grandfather never shied away from expressing his strong views, whether it was about politics, food, the economy, or housework. He's very stick to what he says and he always expresses his determination to defend his arguments, even to the point of raising his voice. I respect him because of his creativity and capability of fixing furniture and, um, learning Chinese. However, I find this part of his personality to be frustrating sometimes. While I appreciate his knowledge and the moments when he said correctness can lead to unnecessary conflicts, especially in discussions where compromise might be more beneficial. However, I find it really challenging to change his mind, so I always try to avoid dealing with him and respect his viewpoint as much as possible.
