Maybe you can't. Some people are simply to insular and narrow to comprehend the concept of multiple valid points of view. These are the people who can't accept that others have differing values; they believe that either you share their own values or you have no values at all; no other options are possible.
Don't try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.

That is so hard to do! Yelling won't do anything because it makes them more stubborn. Ask them how they feel about what you just said. Listen to their answer and ponder it before replying. Keep listening and giving answers that support your point of view. Say something like, "I understand that you feel this way, but I feel.." If they feel that you are really trying to get across to them rather than just trying to always be right they may be more likely to listen or consider things themselves.

You can't. A point of view is simply an opinion. None are right, none are wrong.
If a person can't understand that they just need to listen and understand but DON'T have to agree, they are afraid to do so.
Fear is what cripples people from seeing other's points of view. They fear that if they do, they will lose part of their identity.

Not at that point, you have to wait for a good opportunity when his idea totally failed, this should happen a few times, than may be he can understand he is stubborn..

just say to that person I know you are set in your waus but this is how I feel and leave it at that. If all else fails ignore that person and they will understand how you feel or tell you they are sorry for being stubborn.

What is your right to expect that this stubburn person listens to you at all.
To understand somebodies point of vieuw is a lot to ask.
Usually people only take the trouble for one person - one's spouse.
Maybe you could explain what you mean with this question.

First you strive to understand their point of view. They will never become receptive to your point of view until they believe you are genuinely interested in theirs. That doesn't mean you have to agree with them, just make an effort to understand them.

Explain it as detailed as possible. Try to find a similiar situation they've been in or try different ways of explaining it until they understand where you're coming from.

You are stubbron for trying to force them to see things your way.
Kind of ironic isn't it.
