"@R. Pavon..........I review Wiley and my Textbooks and then watch the video because you catch on to new ways of thinking about a subject that you may have not quite understood. Then do the MCQs to beat the subject into you"

Finding My Rhythm

When you say you want to become a Certified Public Accountant it seems that everyone thinks that it is something you simply do, like passing the Drivers License Exam. In a way, I think that you begin to feel that way yourself. It was not until I began studying for the exam in these past two weeks  that I realized that this thing is beast. A couple weeks in and I am starting to get the rhythm of it all. I am not exactly there, but I feel like I am so close. Recently, I said to myself, "Hey, this…See More

One Step Closer

Yesterday I received exciting news. The Illinois Board of Examiners received my first transcript. The feeling was one of exhiliration and encouragement. It made me think about a time I heard Oprah saying she puts all her goals down on what she called a "Dream Board". This feeling of elation has me contemplating doing just so. My constantly looking at this email and recreating the feeling over and over encourages me to study more and more with absolute focus. Think about the things that motivate…See More

Making Adjustments & The 50th Law

I happen to be reading a book called "The 50th Law" by Robert Greene & 50 Cent (yes the rapper). It talks about taking situations in your life and looking at them as opportunities. I have not worked since 2008 when it became increasingly harder. I already spoke about how I was diagnosed with Kidney Disease earlier back in 2002 and recently received a transplant. Well, with all that behind me, I decided now is the perfect time to study for the CPA Exam. Low and behold, after having been…

Slow (Focused) and Steady Wins the Race

Today I have been working out a system that will ensure that I not only just learn the material but know the core meaning behind it. I have been going back in time thinking of how I learn best. I mentioned before that I have a little ADD going on in here; so, I determined that I should find the least amount of distractions for my mind.

 

Solution: STUDY AT YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY!!!!

 

No Thrills!!!!No Frills!!!!

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.
