Perseverance

Here is one for the perseverance file:-

A South Korean grandmother has failed her driving test for the 771st time, setting a new record for the country.The 68-year-old has taken the test almost every working day since 2005 and has no intention of giving up.Identified only by her last name, Cha struggles with the written test. The pass mark is over 60 per cent, but the elderly lady averages only 30-50 per cent.The wannabe road warrior has spent almost $6000 in test fees. Cha sells food in a handcart and wants a car to expand her business.One local cop said, “I feel sorry for her and if she ever passes I’ll make a commemorative tablet and give it to her,” as reported in The Korea Times.

So when you next feel lke giving up, just think of Cha!
