Often times, I get complacent with the technical knowledge I possess. In order to learn the Cisco way of doing things, I've had to stop reading the books and jump into the labs to get the hands-on feeling out of my system. Depending on the tasks within the practice labs technology, if I had to reference the answer key too many times, I'll force myself to go back and read up on the technology.<BR/><BR/>HTH,<BR/>Barry (aka bitbucket)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
