Sometime ago, an famous violinist called Joshua Bell played in a subway station in Washington, DC. Now, he was playing his violin for about an hour. The night before, interestingly enough, he played in front of 50,000 people. They all acclaimed him as one of the world’s most famous violinists.
Interestingly enough, however, the next day, he decided to play in the subway and no one knew who he was, and hardly anyone even bothered to stop listening to him. It’s amazing.
In 45 minutes or so that he was playing, only about six people stopped. About 20 people, the story says, gave him a little money. He collected a total of $32 even though and unbeknownst to the people who were walking by, his violin was worth $3.5 million.
