Courageous movie

The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell
I am always in the hunt for a good book. This book has been referenced to in one of the seminars I attended. Since then, I've always been curious about it.

The Art of Seduction: The Rake
I was reading the Art of Seduction book and came to interest in one of the characters of a seducer, The Rake. I came to know of a rake for years and I am looking forward to the near future where I can look at the rake and no longer care. It's painful, yes. Afterall, your heart was on stake. There's no point of hating really. Just be grateful you were plucked out of it. You play with fire and you sure will get burned.
