. . . Try, try again.
That’s what my parents always said to encourage my sisters and I whenever we were thwarted in our young lives. I’m pretty keen on that advice. After all, it took me several years of try, try again to write something that would be published, and finally (after many rejections) 32AA did it for me.
Well, I have to really hand it to Mrs. Cha of Jeonju, South Korea. I think she must qualify for some kind of world record for trying.
Woman passes 950th driving test
After four years of trying, 68-year-old Cha Sa-soon finally managed to secure the 60 out of 100 points needed to pass the test.
Here’s what Mrs. Cha had to say:
“I believe you can achieve your goal if you persistently pursue it,” she told Reuters news agency.
Now that’s what I call persistence. You can see the full article, here.
Meanwhile, congratulations, Mrs. Cha!

Met you a few days ago at the Tower of London. I said I was going to check out your books and I have kept to my words, I bought 32AA. I’ve just started reading it and so far I’m enjoying it. So I’m glad you kept trying otherwise this book would not have existed
