Joshua Bell, considered one of the greatest virtuosos of this era and voted the best classical musician in America, to put on a T-shirt and a baseball cap and try being a street musician to find out what would happen.
Bell opened the case to his $3.5 million Stradivarius and played in the subway station at L’Enfant Plaza in Washington, D.C
4 people stopped and one clapped, managed to raise 20 dollars.
The following night the same violinist played in one of the most recognized stages in the world and charged a minimum of $100 per entry.
The experiment proved that the extraordinary in an ordinary environment does not shine, it is not recognized.
When a person is not in the right atmosphere people will be able to walk by their side and not see how exceptional they are,
if you surround yourself with extraordinary people YOU WILL BE BOUND TO SHOW YOU ARE ALSO EXTRAORDINARY!!
