CNN.com reported this story of a man in India who has failed his 10th grade high school exams 39 times, but is hoping that the 40th time around will be a charm.
The man concerned is 73 years old, has had no formal education, and he claims that his not having passed these exams has hampered him throughout life, including his career prospects, and also his chances of getting a decent wife.
Would that our students had half the tenacity of this guy!

How does he compare with the man who took 7 master's subjects and failed all of them?
That's only over one year. If he tries again next year, *then* I will be very impressed.
