Scheduled Lab at Brussels on 22nd DEC 2009

now onto serious studying... I plan to study for the next two months using only my home lab. It covers most of the core topics. I use gns3 and vmware. I have a laptop for internet and gns3 that is 2gb ram and dualcore. Also for the vmwares i have quad q9550 8gb system.

i build my lab based upon inspiration and initial knowledge from : www.blindhog.net.

Materials i use for LAB study : ipexpert workbook1&2 + cisco srnd + cisco.com + ciscopress + forums/mailinglist/blogs(to interact and get clearer understanding) + Misc materials(objective here is to learn from as many sources(potenially unreliable) as possible, but always crosscheck it with cisco.com and forums)

June and July i will be covering all the technologies that can be done in my home lab. In August i will use online rentals to study the leftover topics say 25% of the whole. Also i will do 3 fullscale labs by sep7th. high accuracy and moderate speed/timemanagement will be my goal here. then on september7 till 11th i will attend a mocklab workshop of ipexpert lead my Mark Snow. I plan to get more extensive experience in hardtolearn technolgies and polish my strategy and get lifesaving tips. finally i will be doing fullscale labs and improving my speed and accuracy in the remaining months of october and november. I will be using 25 X 7 hour onlinelabs within the time from the mockweek till exam. ie 2 labs a week. that will continue till dec20th.. after which time i will just stop looking at any book/lab..and be prepared for lab with a good sleep and good state of mind.

Second Chance

The thing I like about life is the second chances we get at every moment. Anyone can always rebound from any failure; no matter how big it may seem a task, its always possible. One time i was asked in the final round of a "best manager" competition that what is the one thing that i like about life.. i had said that i liked the "opportunities" that every instance in life presented us with.

Things haven been going well since a long time.. failures, one too many have bogged me down. People who i cared and loved, have left me .. Life has come a full circle to where i had to sitdown and introspect... to see with more clarity, the things i love, the principles i will die for. That life presents itself with imense opportunities to move ahead, to move left or right..is an experienced reality for me.

I have decided that i will not change. But instead i will try to rediscover what it really means to be "me". away from the commercialism and the material world around me.. i will find the power to really uncover and reclaim the lost meaning that "i" always stood for. I will be leading a life that is based on principles and that reflects the real person that i am.

Yes everyone deserves a second chance.. there no person so evil that he can be denied of it. I know that the universe will be happy to give me a second chance, for i have taken a vow to make my life worthy of every breath that i am allowed to take.
