Thanks! Getting that "A" means a lot, still quite a bit of work to do, but may have a celebratory cigar.

I have definitely been on TRF more as the work mounts, perhaps to give myself little breaks. Thanks!

I'm a lot more focused this time, priorities are different, I'm getting more out of it, but I can understand your paradigm.

What happened? It usually takes some time to pick up the speed. I’ll say after 4-5 projects, you’ll ease up and start liking it. If you can survive till then, you’ll be able to finish it easily. Good luck

Thanks! The last couple of years felt like a step back in some ways for example income, but I think I'm ready to step forward and break through previous plateaus. I appreciate your words and hope to continue improving and learning throughout my the rest of my life.

Thanks! The first A was a huge relief, but then each one I received was a bit more pressure to keep it up and get that next A. The pressure to get an A was palpable in the last class.

Thanks! Very good point. In terms of certifications and education, I may go for the Project Management Professional (PMP) and/or a JD.

Professionally, I think I'm going to shift gears and go into corporate world. Strategically though, a good position and boss, a company that I can learn from with a brand that conveys that.

Thank you BBL! The realization of goals is meta-physical as you say what was once on the horizon is now the starting point.

Appreciated Doctor, I am looking at it as one tool in the bag and I'll continue to refine and improve the others, e.g. attitude, effort, and focus.
