Perseverance

Recently ,I have read a story about a 73 year old Indian farmer who has taken and failed his high school exam for the 38th time! He has vowed that he will not get married until he passes . From 1969, when he was in his 30's, he has been taken the exam which he usually has problem with in the math section.

Now if that isn't perseverance in a day and age where folks give up at the drop of a dime,then you tell me what is! Not only that, he is revising for his 39th attempt so, as he says, he can marry a girl under 30. Some may say that he is a failure but what hasn't failed him is his belief that he will succeed.

Always remember, it is not how many times you fall down but how many times you get up!
