Grit. Don't give up on hard problems. Manage your feelings. Overcome obstacles. Practice patience.

  Been programming for 40 years. This is the best answer here, and why I came to comment. If you're not making headway, step back, sleep on it, and try another approach. Giving up will guarantee you fail. You haven't failed until you give up. Also related, fail fast; do the minimum amount of work to create a proof-of-concept, to see if you're on the right track or not. Don't build the whole UI until the algorithm is working, don't focus on the wrong things, focus on the most important thing first. And finally, know when to ask for help. There is no shame in it. It's better to ask for help than waste time. Just. Never. Give. Up.
