RPT, was THE best RPT.....

[pianolover 88]

I take great pride in my work, have never felt that passing the RPT test 
would somehow make me "feel" better as a technician, a person or whatever. I 
am very confident in my abilities, and love what I do, and simply do not 
care a single IOTA whether an RPT "takes me seriously" or not. No offense, 
when I read that, I LAUGHED OUT LOUD! My world consists of a wide variety of 
interesting endevours, and while I love my chosen carreer, it's NOT 
consuming my every moment! I a very young thinking, acting and living 
individual, and life is simply too damn short to worry about what somebody 
else might think about me, or whatever. And now it's time for my daily 6 
mile Mountain Unicycle ride! That's "Muni" for short. Here's a link to my 
videos just so you can see that there's sooooo much more to life than 
Pianos!

way does it guarantee a better income or anything else other than the
satisfaction that you passed the test and can put the logo on your business
cards."

Terry,
One thing that seems to evade most Associates: The main reason for passing 
the tests, is that RPTs will take you more seriously. Until then....? Of 
course there are many Associates that do very credible work. However, most 
RPTs have no way of knowing that, until the tests are passed. Just my 
Opinion. Such is the reason there are so many Associates. They can still 
make a good living w/o ever taking the tests. Shows a lack of pride IMO. I 
hope the "Pirate" is reading.<G> Flack suit zipped tightly. (But, it won't 
do you any good, as I'm off to Rawchesta and will be unsubscribing for the 
duration.<G> Of course you could save yer "blast" for when I return.<G>)
See ya in Rawchesta.
