I have a serious question. It is really easy to say that someone failed X number of times at something but to me, that is only relevent to the number of attempts and number of passes. Years ago, I read the statistics for Michael Jordan and how many shots he actually missed but was still considered great. JFK Jr. failed his boards to become a lawyer but eventually passed. I find it interesting how they never tell you what the total # was. If the total # of tests was 100, then the # doesn't look so bad. But if it was 10, well that's not so good.
