Amp's CCIE Quest On a quest for the digits…

In the beginning…

I am not 100% sure of how I got to this point, studying hours upon hours to reach a certification pinnacle that statistics have shown that only 3% of those that attempt it actually achieve it. Listening to a sermon from church a few nights ago definitely had something to do with it "The Spirit of Excellence to Produce Prosperity". I was left feeling like if I am going to remain in the industry that I have been in for almost 13 years then why not begin the journey of excellence in pursuing my CCIE?

In talking to some people that have either already achieved that coveted CCIE number or those that are trying to obtain it now, it became clear that this journey could quite possibly be one of my toughest mental tests since graduating from Marine Corps boot camp 13 years ago.

Well I am game for the challenge, mentally, physically, technically, and most of all spiritually. I will chronicle my every step along the way so that others that are looking for inspiration can possibly draw some from my quest, I will also write in this blog to help keep me focused and steadfast along the way, and to also see the entire spectrum along the way, you know the beginning and the ending....
