Clear, crisp guide. Thanks a lot.

This is what I'm stuck with. Most times when this happens, I blame myself for not being capable of empowering them. Like you said, I should stop taking this hard and give some time for me as well as the person. Thanks.

Newbie mistake, just try to spent enough time the first time. So you are sure they understand, be less helpful the 2nd time.
