Machine Learning is the ability of a machine to learn on its own from the past experience. It is a technology that reads and understands raw data and statistics and extracts meaningful insights from this data. This helps solve complex business problems that are data-rich.

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
Fatal attraction is holding me fast,
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?

"There is no painless way for psychological transformation" Carl Gustav Jung
The other day, looking at my emails, I came across a very nice message from Divaldo Franco, which read: "Suffering is the presence of absent love. When not loved comes to pain to wake us up. "
I confess that one reason this sentence have called me a lot of attention, due to the fact that I is going through a very difficult, after an accident and later fracture in his leg.
After surgery and now in recovery, it could literally say that I'm relearning how to walk in all directions. When you do not walk according to the life she came to bring us some kind of learning, so that we can be reinserted back on track ...
We've all heard at some point in our lives, some sort of comment in relation to suffering: they say that suffering ennobles, strengthens our spirit, bringing us learning, etc.. Becomes common, when we are experiencing some sort of discomfort, embark on a process of internal questioning, examining the people with whom we are engaged, our attitudes towards life, attitudes, and feelings generated marks caused so that a relatively short time the whole situation may actually be well assimilated and accepted. Within this overall context, when we see the pain itself as a great ally and not an enemy, in fact returned to their origin, thus bringing a new vision and understanding of it.
And in so many questions when our pain reaches the edge of unbearable, we may be doing some questions: Why me? Do I deserve? What I did happen to that fact?
Right now, some may switch between the revolt and compassion.
Compassion gives us the ability to attune ourselves with other people who go through suffering, often far greater than ours, and we let the basic need in the second place temporarily, we find that in giving, in fact, we are strengthening our sense of inner strength.
We can see in a momentary glance, that questions once formalized in the context of rebellion and rejection, could be transformed into other, more complex and profound:
- Does it enhance or stopped loving someone in particular? I learned to forgive and not allow the hurt and anger invade my heart? What do I need to learn that this is happening to me? I'm sure that ulterior motives can be many and the answer is certainly within the consciousness of each one of us.
Throughout life, I have observed that each person has their own personal process of pain or suffering, but through my personal experience I can say that the main thing I learned is to be less strict with myself and others.
People are always imposing strict limits, often because they actually do not feel capable of overcoming their own, always hiding behind rules that make them stay in one place, where everything is known and safe, yet extremely limiting .
Today, with this broader consciousness, I realize that behind all my stiffness was my non-acceptance of the naturalness of life, which itself changes over time.
I learned that no matter leave some loose ends for tomorrow - he will always wait for us. I'm learning that no matter how hard we have to experience true love in its breadth, it is never too late to win it, albeit through pain or suffering ...
The lesson for me, translates into Socrates' famous words: "Make the stones you stumble on the stones of your ladder."
