Re: My most excellent Bootcamp experience this week

Thanks to everyone, I appreciate all your comments. It was a TOUGH three
weeks. I conducted an End-to-End (12 days /162 hours) and the same day took
a 22 hour flight to Europe. I got there on Sunday night and the next day we
started again.

2beone, Vitali, and the others. thanks very much for your comments. I truly
appreciate it. It is a great pleasure to read all these comments. When your
customers/students attend your class and write positive comments, it
makes you feel GR8. I always try to give my best and I think that every
student deserves the best. I can empathize with my students. I have been
down the same road.

I love what I do. I do not see it as a competition. I don't even think about
the other vendors or their products simply because I have a different
philosophy, a totally different philosophy and mine does NOT jive with any
of them. When I see the light go on in my students eyes, it gives me a
rush. No matter what time of the day, it gives me a boost of energy like a
shot of red bull in my blood (and I pay for it the next day.hahahaha).

I am sure there are bunch of other GR8 vendors and instructors out there;
NONE of you mentioned Bob Sinclair or Bruce C. But we all have preferences
and that is the beauty of this game/world. I have NOT used INE products
either and have NOT even seen them, not even interested, because our
philosophy is very different. From time to time a student asks a question
about one of their tasks and I ONLY answer the students question. They
must all be GR8 or else they would not last this long. We all have
something different to offer.

I like to thank Wayne Lawson for his rack support. Last week we conducted a
CCIE Expo in Europe, conducting Security and Routing & Switching Boot Camps.
Micronics does not have *Security racks* and we needed to partner with a
vendor and use their racks.

Last time we conducted a CCIE Security Boot Camp, we contacted this
particular vendor which is based in US. This specific vendor did every trick
in the book to make life hard for my instructor (I will not mention their
name), so I called Wayne Lawson and he was more than willing and happy to
help. We DID NOT HAVE A SINGLE PROBLEM. These guys are professionals and
more than willing to help. Thanks mate, you are a true pro. BTW, our
Security Workbook is based on their topology, so for people that have
purchased our new Security workbook, please contact IPX and they will take
care of you.

HEMANTH, things change, some vendors get better as time goes on and some get
worst as time goes on. Some bite more then they can chew and some dont. But
let me tell you the truth and some people can not handle it but *too bad*
because with me, you ONLY get the truth. The truth is:

*#1:*

INE and their owner and most if not all of the famous instructors that you
see here are famous because of Wayne. They all started or worked for this
guy, he is the reason most of them are known (except maybe 2 that i can
think of). He taught them the business and he made them who they are, or
with SOME whom they are *NOT*.

* **#2:*

Group Study is what made us all. DO NOT believe anything anyone tells you.
NO FORUM out there has been directly or indirectly responsible for the
success of so many CCIEs or *Vendors* out there. If GS did not exist, NONE
OF US WOULD HAVE.

Once again, I like to thank all of you for your comments. I only did what
you paid me to do. I promise to constantly improve the lectures/workbooks in
my company. I have already made some changes to the boot camp, its ONLY
about three hours of more lecture, I hope this makes it a tick better.

Thanks

Dont forget PUZZLES
