Starting to Write — 14 Tomorrows Later

It’s interesting how we sometimes need reminders even about our important decisions. This post serves as a reminder of why I decided to start writing.

Intro

When I was reading about Analysts and Data Scientists, gathering information on what to learn and which resources to use, I came across many different opinions about the field. Some said that dedication alone is enough to succeed, while others emphasized the need for smarts, strong math skills, and more.

So, where’s the truth? And am I smart enough to pull this off?

“Starting Today”

Ever since the idea of writing came to me, this line from Elvis’ song has been playing louder and louder in my head. Even though it’s about romance, these two words had stood out.

Yet actually it took me 14 ‘tomorrows’!

It was the calm before the storm.

It was the planning before action. [2 - link below, on planning]

Thank you, Elvis, for putting up with me this long.

“Starting today. I’m teaching my heart…”

If you know and like this song, I bet it’s been playing in your head ever since I mentioned it. You’re welcome. 😉
