we often lament the incredible costs of these certifications in materials, books, videos, etc. but keep in mind, cisco.com has everything under the sun and it is free... they give the blueprint for the exam, and every possible configuration, every possible question can be answered under their roof and at no cost...  the trick is figuring out how to use it...

a couple of things...

this path we've chosen is difficult; the information is often esoteric and you really have to love this shit to succeed at it, or it will become dry and boring...  single minded purpose is a phrase i often think of... that was a phrase a great wrestling coach of mine used all the time when i was a high school wrestler... single minded purpose... and intestinal fortitude...

when i went through marine boot camp, the other recruits, the ones getting close to graduation would always tell us newer recruits, "to stay motivated" and we would make it...

you have to really dig deep sometimes to truly know what you're made of... the path to ccie will show you what you are made of one way or another...

STAY MOTIVATED...
