      I guess that depends on what the attempts are at.

      My mum would probably tell you 1000s of attempts at playing a tune all the way through on the recorded, but success didn’t really come for me!!
      Other things have taken far less attempts to get success.

      If you really want something then usually you have to keep going. You will usually get there in the end. I guess I probably never wanted to play the recorder enough or I’d have found a different way to learn and achieve success.

      Lots and lots. I think I spent three years working on how to make bendy electronics (one of my previous jobs) before I got it to work properly. It can be tough at time, but I see it like a marathon, just keep on going, and eventually you can get there.

      One of my exams I failed 4 times until I finally passed, but yes as the others have said, try and try and try again, and you will get there. 🙂
