GENERATION Y-PATIENCE

How does an instructor help a student from generation Y that does not know how to be patient and take their time when an important skill needs to be learned? Because these students are so used to getting answers instantly from the internet they also think it applies to every aspect of their learning experience. It is great that they are so brite but they have problems when things don't come easy to them. They want to give up to soon and quit. I find myself spending a lot of time encouraging them to keep going and not give up when they can't find the right answer or get a hands on skill mastered after the first or second try. Is there a way to help them understand that everything may not come easy and sometimes you have to work hard to reach your goals?
