well done mate! i hope you are doing good 2 years later!

I lost everything... My mother died of cancer after I cared for her for 13 yrs but, I have been a subscriber of your youtube for about 1 yr now and I can honestly say you have been a solid inspiration despite me having no family to help or rely on... i have always loved computers since the 80's but could never afford them, times have changed now and I managed to save up for a cisco course this year but become heavily ill and lost my home... I saw your video again tonite and so I say to you David... Thank you so. much and I truly thank god for giving you the drive and determination to be the person you are and providing this amazing life changing content here on this platform. I will not give up while I still have a choice and an old computer and cafe or library to be inn while i continue to learn and change my life.... Thank You Mr D Bombal. god bless you

Sorry to hear about your misfortune, but so as life goes. I wanted to share a resource that may be of value to you in your pursuit in networking. It's called Cisco Sandbox, and it's free! Lots of different labs for you to work on, just login with your Cisco ID (free also). Hope this helps or is some value to you and best of luck to you!

Thank you David. I too started as an Helpdesk IT Analyst after completing my engineering degree. I studied while I was working there & landed on a job as Associate Network Engineer. Now after 4 years alhamdulillah I am working as a Network Consultant. 😊🙂

Excellent video David! And wow - your face really lightened up, when you kid was attending the video! That’s true love right there.

thanks david!! everyone has a difficult time..but u motivate many people base on ur personal story.

Thank you for your honest words David. You're absolutely right. Everything is in our hands.

Thanks David to represent a point in personal way , much appreciated for sharing your story.

David you are such an inspiration!! I am studying for my CCNA, and it is difficult for sure, but you make the content easy to understand, and I believe a CCNA is within my grasp!! I am stuck in a dead end technology job where I do not learn anything, and I am on the verge of walking out because I am not satisfied with the work environment and how I am not allowed to take the network over and run with it. I have been searching for jobs, but I am not sure which direction I want to go, so I got to thinking that I love networks, but I also love servers and configuration. I decided that I would pursue a System Administrator position because I can do a lot of different things. Thanks so much to you David for your words and wisdom, it has changed my life!!!!!!

David this is a fantastic video! I can relate to so much here. I got my MCSE in Productivity with Microsoft when I learned about Cisco, and just passed my CCNA Routing and Switching a few weeks ago. I've been recommending you to everyone who wants to further themselves. Keep up the great work David!

All those stress, all those frustration after watching this video I feel more lighter more confidence. Believing myself that I can you do it and just have to keep on learning!

You are my mentor.. Thanks David

You are a great motivator am proud of you and am happy to be here, feeling great here

David, you are an inspiration to us all. THANKS

Thank You! It’s nice to watch fancy and flashy stuff. But sometimes watching someone who takes the time to genuinely peer back at you and talk to that soul within is really what you really need. I’m just one person a seemingly nobody, but I’m actually somebody. Thanks for the kick. It won’t ever be the last kick, but it’s a kick at the right time that pushes you down the road enough for someone else to maybe deliver that next rightful kick to your young self. Thank You!

These are brilliant thoughts! Thank you for sharing your experience David! I'm motivated and inspired! In one year I will write here about my results (if I don't forget). I wish success to everyone who watched this video!

This is a sweet nice video David. You are right, we need to find our motivations and inspirations to keep going forward and harder. GOD bless you and your family, man. I can't wait to obtain my CCNA cert and keep going. ! Cheers!

This really helped mo so much I feel like I have failed in life and I believe in myself more and more with inspiration like this. We need more people like you Dave, GG.

Thank you Mr David Bombal. Your story is inspiring and gives me the motivation to push on. I have wasted a whole lot of my time in my 20s. Now in my early 30s, I’d like to amend my errors and change my ways. I hope in the future, I too can give back to the community and inspire the younger generations to come with my story. Love all your videos and currently taking up your CCNA course in udemy. Once again, thank you for the lessons in IT and also in life. God bless.. to you and your family.

Same story here David. Thanks for sharing, really inspiring. Thank you my younger self.

David ! Your story matched my story ! you are my mentor like Keith , Jeremy and Chris Bryant.

David, I have annoyance all over - home, outside, no work but when I work, it is a given there are annoyance, show off, harassing so there is no peace and this has been going on since 1991 - unstopped. but now I made a mistake and have a 4 yrs so I have to provide for this rug rat. It was a relief to hear you - and you could not be anymore right - on the money. I wish to have a one and one with you - I need to be on track and get my CCNA asap - since I can't sleep I wanted as much of your videos, Keith Barker and newtwork chuck.

Thank You teacher I am attending your classes and believed in your lessons from day one.

Thanks for motivating David. Best teacher I have in my life span ❤️

Sir , this video fills lot of positives in me . i will make sure that i will be properly utilizing the time and keep learning the things ..

Thank you very much, I needed to see a video precisely like this one, I have two years thinking in which direction to change my career, where I was most of the time felt totally hindered and not motivated. I will have to start from scratch (again lol), but it will certainly be worth it. It has been very helpful. I'll start to review your channel. Cheers!

Mr Bombay you have no idea how much I have been inspired because of you. Lov your videos. I feel new fire has been lit up inside me. Great Dad 👨🏽‍💻

Thank you, bless you and the family.

Thank you :) I can relate to quitting a dead end job. I took a leap of faith and quit a secure job of 4 years to do a 12 week full time cyber security course , with no guarantee of a job, and i was completely new to everything aswell - But immediately i felt there is so much to learn. I landed my first role as network engineer shortly after and now i am pursuing CCNA on udemy by yourself :) I want my older self to thank my younger self / current me. So thank you for continuing to inspire and teach :) !!

Great meaningful story . David you are a an inspiration by itself ! your videos are the best thank you for sharing your knowledge
