Re: CCIE R&S v4.0 results on as good as I hoped

Guys,

I am sorry for the late reply, i am still waiting to get a flight back home.

But mate you are ready when you can look at the blueprint and answer all of
your questions.
I am a very conservative person, I WILL NOT take the lab unless i can answer
all of my questions, for example, look at LDP and L3VPNs, can you close your
eyes and see the commands? Can you do a "?" in your head and see all the
options? Do you know what they are?
I DO NOT MEAN MEMORIZE, please do not get me wrong, you should NEVER
memorize, the only reason you will see the commands and their options is
because you have configured them so many times its NOT funny. You should run
IOS in your head instead of what ever it is that you are running. As long as
its NOT the 12.4(15)T11 on 3725s (JK).

But do you guys see what i am saying? Go through the entire blueprint and
write down your weak areas, and hammer them out one by one, face them head
on.
Sometimes to satisfy our conscience, we go out there and purchase every
bloody book we can get our hands on, and i bet there are lot of us that do
that. But have we read all of them? I bet NOT even 15 percent of them.
When we read a hard or a complex documentation, we normally bypass the areas
that we do not understand, because we feel that if we don't understand them
ITS PROBABLY NOT IMPORTANT, this is the philosophy that costs us few
retries.
