When is persistence folly?
I would appreciate it if you would give a few clues as to when it's O.K. to quit, that is, to know when you have given enough effort without reasonable results. For example, I've been trying to learn Hebrew for many years and I'm still an 'intermediate'. Although I enjoy my studies/efforts it's extremely frustrating and embarrassing for me not to get off the 'intermediate' level. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
Rabbi Zelig Pliskin is the author of 24 books with his specialty in mastering happiness and other positive inner resources. His last 16 books include: "Conversations with Yourself" "Building Your Self-image" and "Marriage." These books are available at: Artscroll.com
