I truly believe that one should understand the building blocks of data to be a spectacular data professional.

Personally, I find it efficient to break down and categorize. Statistics, DS, ML,AI & Mathematics are contributors to ensuring we are able to work in data technology. So, try to always ask yourself, "hey, explain it to me like I'm 5". Usually works.

• Mathematics: Patterns your data
• Statistics: Fit your data to a particular pattern
• Data Science: Transform your data until you find patterns
• Machine Learning: Learn the patterns in your data
• Artificial Intelligence: Learn the patterns, and generate new data.
