While it's true that persistance and hard work are necessary to suceed, so too, is the ability to step back and look at the big picture. Sometimes you ARE headed for a dead end and it is better to shitcan what's been done up 'till now, and start over after re-examining priorities. In the girl's case, maybe she had too many classes and each would require a great deal of attention to do well in. In that case it might be better to drop one and try it again later when she could give it the attention needed to do well.
