Fail My First Attempt

I fail to my first attempt in my CCIE R&S Lab exam in Bangalore.

I pass the configuration part but fail the troubleshoot part.

It's  a very bad feeling, all the time you put in your preparation and then you realize 2 things:
1/ the CCIE is doable
2/ even if is doable and some time more easy than you think but why did you don't get your number?

So now I will take one or two weeks break and go again with my preparation and try my second attempt in Dubai.

 

Trying Greatness

It has been a long time since my last post, during this time :


>Firewall and Web content filtering in Cote d'Ivoire with Fortinet (2 X F200B) equipment
>Make a trip to Niger dealing with LAN installation and deployment (Alcatel-Lucent 6850 only)
>I was involved in a Datacenter Project in Cote d'Ivoire (Alcatel-Lucent 10K, 6900, EMC and Vmware).

Due to all these tasks I lost quite a bit my focus on my CCIE pursuit, but I'm OK with that.
For this new year I decide go through this path for my personnal studies :

1rst : Pass VCP (Vmware Certified Professional), deadline 31/01/2013
2nd : CCIE R&S Bootcamp (3 weeks) and attempt the Lab just after, deadline 31/05/2013
3rd : Pass CCNA Voice, deadline 31/07/2013
4th : Pass CCNP Security, deadline  30/11/2013

All these points are important but the most important for me this year, I already post it on my Facebook profile is try to become the greatest I can be.

Why ?

Answer : "A mediocre person tells. A good person explains. A superior person demonstrates. A great person inspires others to see for themselves."
