Here's a little tidbit from the Washington Post about battle: "[Cy (Zulu, 1964)] Endfield also finds a quality missing from all too many battle sequences in millions of movies: that is, the utter physical labor of battle. It's very hard work to fight, which is why the young are so much better at it. His troopers emerge like footballers after an overtime -- exhausted men, drained and emotionally flattened, smeared with dirt and blood, beyond the need to do anything but sleep for days." Sounds a lot like those 'boot camps' I hear about, and some sustained training efforts mentioned here in the group. Not to mention the day after those CCIE lab tests. Best, G.

Right! I have to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I go to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when I get home, our Dad'll kill us, and dance about on our graves singing "Hallelujah." You tell that to the young people of today - And they won't believe you!

i live in northern MD, work in DC. my train pulls out at 5:05 AM, i get to union station around 7:00 AM. at night my train leaves at 6:00, i get home around 8:00. with the extra sleep time i need in order to function, i am still able to squeeze off at least 90 min of uninterrupted reading time on the train and then go home, deal with wife/kids/bills/life stuff and still have a good hour or so to research stuff in my lab before bedtime happens and it all starts again.at this rate, i am trying to set a schedule of finishing CCNP by early summer. jim ""Brad Ellis"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > It's all about focus, drive, and motiviation.

If the sandwich you are scarfing is leftover Thanksgiving turkey, but the weather conditions exist to roast you like a turkey... Maybe it isn't a loop.

RE: Average afterwork time Tech learning commitmen [7:34634]
For me, my optimal study time was during my lunch break at work. I'd scarf a sandwich and spend 45 minutes completely distraction free sitting in my car in the parking lot. That 45 minutes 5 days a week is more effective than 2 hours a day trying to work on the lab with the kid, wife, honey-do's, tv and dog all vying for my attention. Note, do not become so engrossed in what you are reading that you sit in the car with the windows rolled up and cook yourself like a thanksgiving turkey.
