Have you ever been seduced? Lord knows, I have. The experience can be a bit unnerving at first, especially if you’re a skeptic, and you’re suspicious of unforeseen outcomes. On the other hand, being seduced can be an incredibly delicious experience, if who or what, is seducing you affects you in a positive way. When it comes to the art of practicing your chosen discipline, deliberate practice is the ultimate tease...
