Re: R&S ATTEMPT

Sorry Bryan to hear that ... Like your enthusiasm though . We all are
working hard towards it and the group study forum is excellent resource to
help us.. I personally believe " Failure should not overtake you if your
determination to succeed is strong enough.. " So relax for some days and get
back to the rhythm. We have lot of colleague and seniors to guide all of us
and group study undoubtedly is the best resource for us.

Wish u all the best
