In general, people who are very senior, have the experience but
generally their mind is more inflexible. Therefore, dont place so
much heart in their naggings as long as u noe they r doing for yr
own good. Also as, they r much more senior, u still have to show
respect to them. Showing respect allows you to tap their
experience. With their experience and yr ideas, just choose yr own
path.
If u still want more example, read Albert Einstein's
biography

He influrence the world with his revolutionary ideas. In the
beginning, his ideas are not accepted by people who are more senior
to him.
