I want to know what deliberate practice means - Is it going
through a prescribed set of exercises towards a goal? Wonder how that helps with creativity. I somehow get the feeling this is not the whole picture - practice with some innate talent is required. Simply drumming up hard work makes people just tired and dazed. We all heard variations of this - passion, not working for money, loving what you work etc., Somehow all this didn't add up in my case ;), considering I have put more than 10 years into things I like.
