During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousands of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. </p>\x0a\x0a<p>Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule. </p>\x0a\x0a<p>A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk. </p>\x0a\x0a<p>A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work. </p>\x0a\x0a<p>The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk turning his head all the time. Every single time a child walked past, he or she tried to stop and watch. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on. </p>\x0a\x0a<p>In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money but continued to walk their normal pace. <br/>\x0aHe collected $32. <br/>\x0aWhen he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. <br/>\x0aNo one applauded, nor was there any recognition. </p>\x0a\x0a<p>No one knew this but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written with a violin worth 3.5 million dollars. </p>\x0a\x0a<p>Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston and the seats average $100. </p>\x0a\x0a<p>Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of an social experiment about perception, taste and priorities of people. The outlines were: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour: Do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected context? </p>\x0a\x0a<p>One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: </p>\x0a\x0a<p>If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?</p>\x0a\x0a<p>\x0aI think I&#8217;ve reblogged this twice now. Even as I think about it I still miss daily beauty. </p><span class="tumblr_close_quote">&#148;</span>\x0a                </div>\x0a                \x0a                \x0a                    <div class="tumblr_source">\x0a                        <a href="http://tenshi.soup.io/post/21018296/Violinist-in-the-MetroA-man-sat-at">“Violinist in the MetroA man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and start…” - My soup</a> (via <a href="http://random.terminally-incoherent.com/">terminally-incoherent</a>) (via <a href="http://www.peterwknox.com/">peterwknox</a>) (via <a href="http://mhudack.com/">mikehudack</a>) (via <a href="http://www.justinday.com/">justinday</a>) (via <a href="http://jacobjoaquin.tumblr.com/">jacobjoaquin</a>)\x0a                    </div>\x0a                \x0a            </li>\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a\x0a                        \x0a    \x0a        \x0a            <li class="tumblr_post tumblr_text_post">\x0a                \x0a                    <div class="tumblr_title">Why do I automatically assume that anyone who is always smiling and happy and says &quot;Hi!&quot; enthusiastically to every stranger must be developmentally delayed?</div>\x0a                \x0a                \x0a                <div class="tumblr_body">\x0a                    <p><a href="http://hobart.tumblr.com/post/126725016/why-do-i-automatically-assume-that-anyone-who-is-always">hobart</a>:</p>\x0a<blockquote>\x0a<p><a href="http://robot-heart.tumblr.com/post/126722809/why-do-i-automatically-assume-that-anyone-who-is-always">robot-heart</a>:</p>\x0a<blockquote>Is it that hard to believe that the cognitively abled could be so happy, too?</blockquote>\x0a<p>i’m always pretty happy. also i bit dumb tho…</p>\x0a\x0a<p>Maybe this explains why people I smile at on the street look at me like I&#8217;[m stupid.</p>\x0a</blockquote>\x0a                </div>\x0a            </li>\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a\x0a                        \x0a    \x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a            <li class="tumblr_post tumblr_photo_post">\x0a                <img src="http://22.media.tumblr.com/FaL0oP1Ieo17tk8p7aUTMeD4o1_400.jpg" alt="nancysun:\x0aGPOYW: First Time Surfing Edition - 2007\x0aDo you know why these legs are sexy?
