Can we do that? Change his perspective in his mind which is already build so deep and strong about he is always right? Thanks!

Ask the president why he is such a mule. It defies logic.

As with alcoholics - THEY must realise THEY have a problem before THEY SEEK A SOLUTION. (that's interesting - it's all about them)
Trying to change someone's point of view is a difficult task until they open themselves to NEW possibilities of gaining NEW experiences. That sort of thing requires a life-altering shock - and unless you care to administer that, you are not going to get through their defences.
There are so many things to do, so much to learn and experience, and not enough time to do it all. Are you perhaps wasting your own time on someone who will change only if they decide to.
LEAD BY EXAMPLE.

As a person gets older, his beliefs and principles embed deeper, hence, it gets harder to alter, that is according to experts.
Then again, significant events such as tragedies and other 'shocking' circumstances may somehow change a person's perspective as if coming to a 'realization' as they would claim after experiencing the event.

Change is a necessary process of nature but to master it is something quite different.
Give him something like an idea or though you have and let him ponder on it for a while, do not bring it up again, wait for a response
give this time

Hah! Forget it ItO: the only one who is going to change the mans mind is the man himself. Generally speaking, a man will not change unless he absolutely has to! Does this guy think he absolutely has to change? Because if he doesn't... he isn't going to change his mind, or his perspectives on whatever you think he is wrong on.

Recently I felt that way, until I took a good look at myself and my own behavior. When I made the steps to correct how I reacted and how I carried myself, spoke etc...this allowed him to change all on his own!
It was pretty amazing, when I stopped trying to change him, he was allowed to do it on his own, without my stipulations & expectations attached to how it happened. :)

if someone doesn't want willingly to change character then he won't do it for someone else why don't you try to avoid that person?

i dont think we can do that. personality is pretty engrained. he may come to understand it, but not likely to change.

Plant a seed, see what grows.
You can not ever let him know you are trying. Be crafty and sneaky.
