I once was in a class sitting beside a CCIE that asked me what the command syntax was. I have no faith in the certified. -----Original Message----- From: Matt Levine [mailto:matt-keyword-nanog.aedae7@deliver3.com] Sent: Monday, November 10, 2003 2:50 PM To: Daniel Roesen Cc: Nanog List (E-mail) Subject: Re: [Re: This may be stupid but.. ] On Nov 10, 2003, at 2:38 PM, Daniel Roesen wrote:

I agree certifications are overated at best.
Give me someone with the right attitude and I'll teach him anything.
Showing the ability to get things done is the greatest skill imo.
I once read the following and saved it away...
"Hire and promote first on the basis of integrity; second, motivation; third, capacity; fourth, understanding; fifth, knowledge; and last and least, experience. Without integrity, motivation is dangerous; without motivation, capacity is impotent; without capacity, understanding is limited; without understanding, knowledge is meaningless; without knowledge, experience is blind. Experience is easy to provide and quickly put to good use by people with all the other qualities."
Have no clue who's the origin.
So what you're saying is you want cisco to certify people's integrity? :)
