My open/close minded state

I believe that most of the time, I am open to instruction, but sometime if I do not get it or understand, I'll try to do it on my own. This can lead to many things. It can be either an A: be better than what I asked. B: ironically but what was asked of correctly or C: be a total distater. Sometimes, I guess, I could tened to be stubborn to something I strongly believe in and be ignorant of others. But it has to be something I truly believe in. Like soccer is amazing.
