Statistics and Analytics Quotes

Are you one of those people who love to play with data to find the hidden meanings in it? Are you able to see the patterns that so many others overlook? It takes a special talent to dive into the data, sift through it and find answers. Of course, some people call that witchcraft. Well no, they don’t really call it that but many are skeptical. But don’t let that take the wind out of your sails!

Remember that for all those who tease you, there are another hundred that rely on you. Have a sense of humor, we always tease the ones we love the most.
