Re: OT: please share strategy

Sacrifice and dedication. Remember quality and NOT quantity. The number of
hours spent in a day is not relevant, the number of quality hours is
relevant. I know some that study 6 hours a day, but the last three hours of
those 6 hours was a waste, because they were dead tired, basically the last
three hours they learned nothing, and those three hours got them so tired
that adversely effected them the next day.

I much rather study 2 quality hours a day than 6 hours of frustration and
trying to keep my eyes open. We have other responsibilities in life that
are more important than just getting our CCIE, such as family, friend and
etc.....

CCIE is NOT a 6 month journey, it is a 2 years long journey, it is learning
what you didn't know, it is strengthening your weak points, learning a more
consistent and correct approach in problem solving, understanding the
behavior of protocols, the interaction of protocols and getting creative.

Everyone has an approach, the right formula is the one that does NOT burn
bridges, create bad situations between you and your spouse, family and
friends.

And always remember that failure is part of success.
