It's an ongoing journey, that's for sure. And at times reality
intervenes... The birth of my second daughter is why my CCIE Voice written
is going to expire before I get around to taking it a *cough* third time...
#$*&#$*&ing thing.
But as you go through and mull though things, you get to a point in knowing
stuff where it clicks together, and suddenly many things make sense in a
different fashion than they did before. Sometimes you look back asking
yourself how the hell you missed it! But it's all part of the journey.
The motivation often lies in the realization of things that you don't know.
And the pursuit to "fix" that. It's not always easy, and certainly
difficult to find time! But as long as it remains fun and/or interesting,
then it keeps one going. If you approach a burnout state though, it is
indeed time for a break, or vacation, or some other mind-numbing task for a
while (you know, that ToDo list your significant other keeps!).
Always set a goal and then find the way to achieve it.
Scott

just a thought, a vacation would be nice...

A lot of times I get so busy at work or with chores around the house that I

router configurations or sniffer traces at work all day the last thing I
want to do is log into a router and start configuring BGP scenarios.
I was just wondering - what do you guys do to stay motivated during the long
journey to CCIE?
