Unlimted patience.

He was attendant to CM of Maharastra, I was reading this news yesterday from news paper,after almost unthinkable times of qualifying finally succeeded. 

Whoever it may be, he has set an example for persistence. Hats off to him.

I am not sure how it has benefited him since he has got stuck in a grove focused on something which is impossible for him to achieve since he has not been able to do so in all these years.. 

How this is going to prudence his life and what is significance of this degree apart from so called news makers, it is only obsession to follow nothing to achieve. 

It is not necessary every time to pursue those things which  are universally accepted They may look meaningless. But it is answering one's self that was committed. You should look through the other person's eyes and mind.. If you see many Guinness records, most of them queer and bizarre. Things which are bizarre to you may not be bizarre to the persons concerned.

It is our perspective and we can learn some qualities from the life though i too feel that there is no much significance of the certificate. The qualities must be imbibed in our life in a way that will benefit us.

What do you mean by, " No significance " ? What is the significance of those people who vie with each other to set up a record in Guinness Book of records like growing the longest beard or longest nails?

It is his goal to pursue and aims to pass out to tenth and achieved, it is self satisfaction and what is the reason behind such miraculous time and again trying out of examination only that person could tell. 

Some people for feeding their ego that is to satisfy themselves take to such deeds which may look bizarre to outsiders.

It is apparent for his generations passing out of matriculation could have been a great achievement and that solace him to do this for years, though time has changed now but it is his generations with stunning aim to pas out to stumbling block of matriculation which admires its left to a sort of achievement. 

True. His next generation learns the value of perseverance . That was the aim of this octogenarian .

Apparently, the old man is not serious on success. He is really more serious in 'failures' of which he aims to set record.

 Exactly sir. It is not necessary that every man's ultimate aim should be success. Some people work only to feed one's ego. Many Guinness book records seem to be useless and bizarre like longest nails and growing longest beard etc.

I only meant that there is no "much" significance of the act, but as it is said in the thread the significance is in the negative line of failure and my meaning of no much significance was to convey that his efforts are for mere record and is not constituting hard and dedicated efforts to pass.

The man is persistent but he has no hope for success because his old age does not allow him to perform well in the exam. So his target is now to create a world record on his number of attempts / number of failures. Strange people and strange ideas!

True, unless one learns from past mistakes and tries to rectify , there is not much achieved ...I see his attempts futile in this particular instance , if instead if he had set his priorities on something that he could achieve probably his life would have been different..

If you see some records like Limca book of records, they too look like amazing and strange to us. But not to the concerned person. Because some people feel that sense of achiement. This is the only thing counts for them. Nothing else. They don't want to please others, only themselves.

Frankly he wasted his time. He could have utilised his time better by doing social work or joining some movement like Acharya Vinoba Bhave.( Now no more)

That we can't say if he has wasted his time. Each individual has his own priorities and preferences. Your deed looks bizarre to me. But not to you. It has to me accepted.
