There no word for give up in life dictionary of South Korea Grandmother, Cha Sa-soon (68 years old). After 950 times tried, at the last she passed written exam to get driver's license. Cha Sa-soon has taken the written exam on a near-daily basis since April 2005. The test requires 60% to pass but Mrs Cha has repeatedly scored between 30% and 50%. The 68-year-old grandmother forks out 6,000 won in application fees every time she takes the test. After 950 tries, that amounts to more than five million won (US$ 5.000). But now she has finally passed the written exam with a score of 60, according to police official Choi Young-chul.

The grandmother has become a familiar figure at the drivers' license agency in Jeonju, 130 miles (120 km) south of Seoul. To Korea Times newspaper, Cha said that driver's license she will used to operate her door-to-door vegetable business a little easier. Keep spirit and never give up, grandma.....
