Don't be down. I believe the average is 2.1 attempts per passing CCIE.
With only 1 attempt down you are still ahead of the average.
A couple of things to remember -
1. The CCIE is an extremely challenging exam with a huge failure rate.
There is no shame in a failed attempt.
2. Half of the CCIE is brain power the other Half is will power. Being
smart is not enough to get your Number. Being smart and being prepared
however is.
3. The prep time required to pass your CCIE is a constant. There are no
shortcuts to your number. You can either choose to put your time
preparing before you next attempt, or you can chunk up your prep time
between attempts. Either way, you have have to put the time in.
4. Don't forget your support systems. If you have a wife and kids, make
sure that they are on board and well taken care of. If you are single,
then make sure to schedule in some personal time to stay sane.
5. And remember, at the end of the day.... it is just a test.
