Our actions may be impeded, but there can be no impeding our intentions or dispositions. Because we can accommodate and adapt. The mind adapts and converts to its own purposes the obstacle to our acting. The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way

About

I am a data scientist and a professional engineer. I am interested in applying machine learning and data science to solve real-world problems. I am also interested in developing open-source software and tools to help people solve problems.
