Welcome back!

I don’t usually have a quote of the day but I’ve finished reading “Ready for Anything” by David Allen.  If you are not familiar with David Allen he is basically an Efficiency coach.  He wrote a book called “Getting Things Done” which I read about 14 months ago.  I really enjoyed that book and it helped to break up the monotony of my CCIE study.  Because of that I decided to read his other book in my spare time.

At any rate, the point is that I came across this quote in there that made me re-think how I have studied in the past, and how I plan on studying in the future.

Ready?

Here it is:

It’s possible to own too much stuff.  A man with one watch knows what time it is.  A man with two watches is never quite sure.

- Lee Segall

So now you may be asking what the point is.  Well, here is the tie in to you Certification studies:

When you search Amazon for the word CCNA it returns 1440 books and Google has 13,900,000 results for the same keyword.

The point is, there is so much information out there, but only so much on the test.  You don’t need it all.

So what should you do?

Pick one!

Wow, did I really say that?  Yes I did.  So, If you are going to pick a book, I recommend the CCNA Official Exam Certification guide by Wendell Odom.  Wendell has a great writing style and his book comes with a Test Engine that you can use to practice and get this…it’s Cisco Certified Material.  You dont have to worry about the folks at Certguard tracking you down and accusing you of Cheating and you dont have to worry about Cisco pulling your cert after you have passed the test.  Here is a link to the CCNA Exam guide:
