A Lesson in Perseverance (from the New York Times, Sept. 4, 2010)

       Cha Sa-soon is a 69 year old woman who lives alone in the mountain-ringed village of Sinchon, 112 miles south of Seoul, Korea. This diminutive woman, now known nationwide as “Grandma Cha Sa-soon”, has achieved a record that causes people there to first shake their heads with astonishment and then smile. She failed her drivers test hundreds of times but never gave up. Finally, she got her license – on her 960^th try. For three years starting in April 2005, she took the test once a day, five days a week. After that her pace slowed to about twice a week. She never quit. “When she finally got her license, we all went out in cheers and hugged her, giving her flowers,” said Park Su-yeon, an instructor at the driving school Ms. Cha once attended. “It felt like a huge burden falling off our back. We didn’t have the guts to tell her to quit because she kept showing up.”  It was the written test that she failed so many times. When she finally passed an automotive group started an online campaign asking people to congratulate her. Thousands poured in. In early August, Hyundai presented Ms. Cha with a $16,88 car. Her name means “vehicle” in Korean. She now appears in a commercial for Hyundai. Her education was limited to the fourth grade and her problem with the test was she could read and write words phonetically but she could not understand most of the terminology.   YES, she passed the Driving Test on her fourth attempt. On her wall, next to photos of herself and he late husband she has posted a handwritten – and misspelled – sign that reads:

“Never give up!”
