Why Some Peple Will Never Pass Their CCNA
I have to admit. I am not the worlds most patient and
understanding person. I see the world as black and white.
You want to pass and do the work or you don't want to do
the work which of course means you won't pass. Simple
really. This week I have had 3 students pass their CCNA using
howtonetwork.net and 3 people e-mailed me to say that
they were cancelling their membership. Each person's failure
to take the exam or pass it comes down to a single factor
which I feel is the single most important thing you need if
you are going to be a success in anything. The word is ATTITUDE! Student 1 - e-mails me saying 'I am cancelling my
membership to the site. I joined a week ago and took the
exam seven days later and failed. I may rejoin at a later
stage when I decide to have another go.' This joker expects something for nothing. I have never
heard of anyone passing anything worth passing with one
weeks studying. Let alone one of the hardest ones. Student 2 cancelled. I wrote her an e-mail asking if she
had passed yet or was she leaving for another reason. She
replied 'Unfortunately, I have not yet passed my CCNA.
In fact, I've only just resumed my preparations last week.
I subscribed to your site almost a year ago but, due to
work and school, was not able take advantage of your site.
So, I had been paying for a service I wasn't using and
can't continue to do that.' So, firstly it isn't her fault she hasn't taken the exam
yet. It is her work and schools fault. The rest of us
sit at home all day long studying as we don't have jobs
to go to. Second, if she has resumed her studies, why not stick
around for one more month, use the resources and then
pass the exam? Then the years membership would actually
have been a sound investment. Student 3 - e-mails saying 'Is there any chance you can
give me six months free access to the site? I have a member
now for 9 months but this year (2009) haven't had a chance
to log in at all. Times are hard so if you can't give me
free access I will just cancel. Sweet Lord! Here's a hint. If he can't be bothered to use
the site when he is spending his own money, will he log in
when it is me paying for his access? If this guy just knuckled down and passed then times
wouldn't be hard because he would be a Cisco engineer and
could go freelancing. END OF RANT!! Okay. I had to get all that off my chest. The three students
passing more than makes up for these three wasters who
expect life to give them something for nothing. In five
years time they will be in the same job, blaming others for
their lack of time and success. I keep saying, to pass the CCNA takes about 60 days at two
hours per day. It takes 90 days tops if you are dedicated
and consistent and take responsibility for your time and
your life. Thanks for reading.

you need to mind the kind of words you use when you write about people leaving the site, you don't have to get insultive or overly bitter about it. words like joker, wasters e.t.c are needless in all of these. Thank you
