In studding for the CCNA, I am using a host of resources. Simulator software, real Cisco hardware, textbooks and online exams. I am trying to put a full court press in learning the materials. I am glad I finished my IP Subnetting online course but now when I am turning to the textbooks, I am finding that I have so many other resources. One such resource is the PTP practice exam, as I just took about 10 questions and only got one correct....

I originally joined just to become a better writer, but it’s quickly becoming a way to be a better storyteller. When we first read or learn a story, we automatically become storytellers by retelling it. This retelling is important, as our version will probably be different from the original story. If a person changes the story to deceive, it might be a form of manipulation....
