Why Stop Now?

A woman in South Korea who tried to pass the written exam for a driver's license with near-daily attempts since April of 2005 has finally succeeded on her 950th time!

The aspiring driver spent more than 5 million won ($4,200) in application fees, but until now failed to score the minimum 60 out of a possible 100 points needed to get behind the wheel for a driving test.

Cha-Sa-soon, 68, finally passed the written exam with a score of 60 on Wednesday, said Choi Young-chul, a police official at the driver's license agency in Jeonju 130 miles south of Seoul.

Police said Cha took the test hundreds of times, but had no specific total. Local news media said she took the test 950 times.

"NOW she must pass a driving test before getting her license," Choi said.

Cha said that she needed her driving license for her vegetable-selling business.

So the next time you start out on an endeavor just think of Ms. Cha and don't give up. People who find ways to say 'yes' rather than give up, in the end succeed.

P.S. Let's hope the actual driving test went quicker!
