…and I'm not making excuses either. There were times where I was just plain lazy and didn't want to study.
I didn't want it bad enough. Once I wanted it bad enough – I PASSED.
That was my story though…it was an issue of work ethic at the time.
This isn't the case for everyone though.
I can attest to the fact that after you get home – spend time with your family – wife and 3 young kids who you try to not make feel COMPLETELY abandoned, by the time the kids get to bed…it's 8:30/9 and you're ready to crash or unwind – definitely not watch an hour or two of Pension accounting.
It was when I forced myself to do that hour or two of pension accounting or whatever – and then get up and hour before work and study – and study an hour at lunch – and get away for an entire Saturday…and listen to lectures on my way to work…and at my desk…and sneak MCQs here and there on my laptop while I worked on a spreadsheet…when I stayed at work an extra hour and a half…etc that I finally did pass.
For some though – it's not about work ethic…that's all I'm sayin'.
