Stubborn
Today I argued with my boss about something. He wanted me to finish some stuff for him before tomorrow. We argued for about half an hour about the way how I should finish the work. By the end I finished the job my own way. As a result he got angry because I didn't listen to him and he thought that I could have saved more time and effort if I had listened to him but I don't think so, my way was better and it actually saves time and effort. I sometimes don't listen to him, I mean my boss, although he has more experience than I do and to be honest sometimes I find myself totally wrong. My boss thinks that I'm stubborn and calls me "stubborn girl".

Sadly in life sometimes you have to do it their way. But you have not been fired so maybe your way is the best way.

Stubborness is really a very nice thing, but it should be applied rightly, for instance - to be stubborn in reaching a certain goal. On the other hand, if a person so stubborn that doesn't lend an ear to the opinions of others - he/she always risks to make some mistakes, because consulting with others may help to correct your thoughts and even facilitate choosing the best way of achieving something. Our Prophet (PBUH) said: لا ندم من استشار - those who consult won't ever be frustrated. But if you're sure that you do somethig right and your boss thinks wrong - then the best thing is to try to persuade him, showing him some convincing argumentation and try to avoid the probable misunderstanding.
