Being flexible is important. There is no point being stubborn if you can change your thinking or behavior and it can lead to success. When you are flexible you are considering the alternatives to your own behavior and thoughts. There are definitely situations where you should stick to your own thinking, especially decisions involving what is correct in your own behavior. Being stubborn instead of being flexible when you know you are wrong is a foolish way to act. When you feel change will help, think things over and be flexible. Change is often difficult. Changing to make things better is being flexible and can help you succeed.
