RE: Studying for my fourth attempt

They work harder than we do... I have met enough CCIE's to learn having a 36
waist makes me Young Brad Pit compared to you guys... :)

Comparing a CCIE to a theme park employee? That statement, in itself, just
devalued the cert more than any NDA violation I have seen on this forum.

If OER wasn't on your lab attempt why even mention it?

Forget how much money I spent on my CCIE, I would care less how you get your
number or not - think about the people at Cisco that work hard to bring you
the test...

Kind of like the characters at Disney World that get up at 5 am for rehearsals
and wait around until the park opens each day, so 1000's of happy kids can
rush into see them! Or Astronauts that spend 10 to 20 years in the military to
earn the CHANCE to even APPLY for the space program... someone did something
you didn't do so you could just watch... that's this test...

If you're really worthy of the test you'll respect it and just pass it - who
needs to know what you got tested on the day you failed or pass?

Also, whether you respect it or not that your business - but be warned there
is an NDA and who knows what could happen if Cisco employees are on this forum
looking for specific examples of NDA violations.

Thanks,

Joe

Hi Jazz,
Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't mean to suggest that OER was in my last
two attempts (I should have worded that better). I meant to use OER as a
placeholder for a complex topic that I need to work on (and has been a popular
topic on this forum of late).
