00:00:05,610 --> 00:00:07,110
I want to welcome you to this course.

2
00:00:07,110 --> 00:00:09,600
Thank you for investing in yourself.

3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,800
Thank you for investing in this course.

4
00:00:11,820 --> 00:00:17,280
I really appreciate you investing your time and your money in one of my courses.

5
00:00:17,340 --> 00:00:23,220
I've taught hundreds of thousands of students and I'm confident that you'll learn something through

6
00:00:23,220 --> 00:00:24,200
this course.

7
00:00:24,210 --> 00:00:31,500
Let me warn you however to understand the technology you need to understand the theory of that technology.

8
00:00:31,500 --> 00:00:34,360
So there's going to be times when you're struggling.

9
00:00:34,500 --> 00:00:37,030
There's a whole bunch of theory that you have to get through.

10
00:00:37,050 --> 00:00:43,260
So as an example, you need to understand IP subnetting to be able to practically subnet a network 

11
00:00:43,260 --> 00:00:48,720
IP subnetting is one of those topics that a lot of people struggle with when you're struggling when you're

12
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:49,610
feeling down.

13
00:00:49,710 --> 00:00:55,770
Just remember that if you continue you'll get it you'll understand it and you'll be able to pass the

14
00:00:55,770 --> 00:00:57,240
CCNA exam.

15
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,100
Don't let the theory topics hold you back.

16
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,590
Don't let the heavy theory if you're getting bored if you're getting tired if you're struggling.

17
00:01:04,590 --> 00:01:10,560
Take a break and then come back and make sure that you conquer those mountains or those topics.

18
00:01:10,620 --> 00:01:12,390
Make sure that you understand subnetting.

19
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,550
Make sure that you understand topics such as Access Control Lists.

20
00:01:15,630 --> 00:01:19,510
Don't let the theory stop you from reaching your goal.

21
00:01:19,530 --> 00:01:24,800
It's initially difficult to understand a new technology or a new topic breakthrough.

22
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:30,420
Make sure that you study and learn the technology so that you can then get to the practical portion

23
00:01:30,690 --> 00:01:32,450
and you can apply your knowledge.

24
00:01:32,460 --> 00:01:38,670
We're going to mix theory and labs to make sure that it stays interesting to make sure that you understand

25
00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:44,080
the concepts but also understand the practical application of the technologies.

26
00:01:44,100 --> 00:01:46,380
Biggest thing I can say is don't give up.

27
00:01:46,380 --> 00:01:51,690
Continue every day studying make sure that you reach your goals.
