If at first you don't succeed - try harder? Or is learning to recognise when we should quit a valuable lesson in life too?

I am a try harder kind.. I don't quit easily... I had an interview today.... it was challenging, which is good - I don't think I will get the position, (It's not a job but a placement for a course) but one of the questions they asked was about how do we recognise when we should hand something over to someone else... because they have more experience, because their style works better with the client, or because we are too emotionally involved...  And I do think that's an area of weakness of mine.. that I always try to help people, that i go that extra mile, that I want to heal them, to soothe them to empower them to change their lives.. that sometimes I have to accept that they just don't want to or are just not ready to...

    You've got to know when to hold 'em
    Know when to fold 'em
    Know when to walk away
    And know when to run ~Lyrics

    Give it your very best every single day. And don't be so hard on yourself come nightfall.~WRDSMITH
