Have you ever been to a subway station … and seen a musician performing?
Most of the time, people just walk by and don't stop to listen.
But one time, a
violinist played for 45 minutes in a subway station in New York City, and only
a few people stopped to listen. In the end,
the violinist only got a tip of $30. What the people there didn't know was that the
violinist was actually a FAMOUS musician named Joshua Bell, and he was playing one of the most difficult pieces ever written on a
violin worth $3.5 million. Just two days before, Joshua Bell had also sold out tickets for a performance at a theater in Boston, with tickets averaging
$100 each. This performance in the subway was actually an experiment to see if people would recognize talent in an ordinary setting. The experiment showed that sometimes people don't appreciate or even notice something special when it's
not in a flashy or fancy environment. There are lots of talented people out there who don't get the recognition or rewards they deserve, but if they have confidence in their abilities and move out of environments that don't value them, they can succeed.
Your gut can tell you when you're not in a situation that's right for you,
so listen to it! Go where
you are appreciated and valued, and always know your own worth.
