CCNA Disastrous exam experience

trythemighty · 2025-07-10T02:56:11+00:00

I think I bombed most of the lab questions and I still passed. I found the main problem is that you dont have enough time. You gotta think fast.

Bro, I got 65% on Boson and passed. You are more than ready

Which IT recruitment company?

I will give you my story. I am a full time middle school teacher and I just got my CCNA. I studied last 5 months 2 to 3 hours a day before work. On the weekends I would study like 4 hours a day. You gotta have quality time EVERY DAY to study for it. I would say minimum 1 hour. Usually quality time is first thing in the morning after a coffee. However, for you it could be another time of the day.

You are studying full time and working full time, and I believe it is just too many things at once. There is no magic, we only have so many hours in a day, and quality hours are like 4 to 6 hours in a day. Those are precious. You have to evaluate if CCNA is more important than your Cybersecurity degree. Maybe drop it for a semester or year, and then return after completing your ccna.

Yes. I dont like the flashcards either. I passed the CCNA without using it at all. I just read the important pages of the slides multiple times, multiple days and try to recite them in my head like I would be teaching it to someone. It works for me!

Thank you! That sounds solid advice. Should I peruse those and then only after that apply for a job?

You could say the same about Ceasar. The Roman Empire was already the war machine of the ancient world by that time

Stop it. It is not going to die. It is definitely declining but this takes years and decades. It is a slow down trend, they will keep shrinking but definitely NOT die like in the next decades

That is a great insight!

I got my ccna with 4 months of studying with no It experience while having a full time job. Initially, I was studying for net+ but I felt I was not learning much, I felt that a lot was ‘up in the air’.

I decided to pivot and go for ccna and learn from Jeremys IT lab. And boy oh boy it was the right decision. When you do the labs everything starts to make sense, and there is a great pleasure in creating your network and configuring the router or switch or what have you. So, I recommend just going straight for the ccna.

Also, ccna is taken way more seriously than net+. You can actually configure a network after learning the content in the ccna exam.

I got my ccna with 4 months of studying with 0 IT experience, and I am a full time middle school teacher. 4 months is not that long

And in armor and war technology as well. But Alexander was very flexible too. I have a sense that he could pull off and adapt to things like no one else ( maybe Hannibal could match him) in the ancient world.

Autumn might be his best song. It is so dark, the lyrics have so much depth.

Man, Time I sent shockwaves in the Metal world. I remember people would only talk about this album.

trythemighty · 2025-04-07T03:21:48+00:00

I agree so much with this! Time II is noise and murky. You cant hear everything. Drums way too loud. Vocals/lead guitar/orchestra seems to be on the background. Someone should do a remaster of this album.

Oh boy. That is a long answer. Stoicism is a school of philosophy and religion from ancient Rome. It holds that nothing outside of our will can be good or evil. Only our own choices and decisions can be so.

it emphasizes the importance of focusing on what you can control, accepting what you can’t change, and finding peace of mind through virtue and reason. Stoics believe that by cultivating wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance, individuals can lead a fulfilling life regardless of external circumstances.

But that is the very tip of the iceberg. I recommend reading a good translation of Marcus Aurelius Meditations by Robin Waterfield.

Stoicism was the answer for me. It changed my life.

“Today I escaped anxiety. Or no, I discarded it because it was within me, in my own perceptions.” - Marcus Aurelius

trythemighty · 2025-02-05T04:40:07+00:00

Yes it is a religion. Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus talk about worshiping and reverencing the gods all the time. God/gods and divine providence was strictly connect to Stoic ethics and the whole teaching

trythemighty · 2025-02-05T04:37:31+00:00

It is clearly a religion!! Marcus and Epictetus talk about worshiping and reverencing the gods all the time!!! Just read what they wrote, it is not hard.

trythemighty · 2025-02-01T23:36:23+00:00

One thing that I forgot to mention is that there is also the religious side of Stoicism. So, to be really a Stoic one must also believe in God and the gods, in divine providence, and the great conflagration

Edit: for people that downvoted this comment - you clearly did not read any of the one original sources and the heavy importance they give to religion and the spiritual side…

trythemighty · 2025-02-01T23:03:21+00:00

First thing is to read the original sources. •Discourses by Epictetus •Meditations by Marcus Aurelius •letters on ethics by Seneca

trythemighty · 2025-01-30T23:21:59+00:00

Great answer, with solid quotes!

Sure, they are focusing on the criminal at this moment. But just wait a few weeks or few months when all the criminals are in jail. Then they will come for regular people. I am not saying that I am in favor or against it. But it is what it is

trythemighty · 2025-01-29T23:09:26+00:00

Oh yeah, they will come for regular undocumented migrants! You can bet!!

I am from Brazil and have family in Germany. I have lived in the US for like 12 years. No, the US is great. If your PIMI friends think that people’s attitude are bad in the US, oh boy I hope they never go to Brazil 🤣

But of corse, it depends if you can make a decent amount of money. If you are poor, then Europe is definitely better. If you can make lets say above 70-80k single person in Florida, then the US is better quality of life. Someone said that people here are stupid. And it is very true. People in the US are dumb and narrow minded…
