If you know what you are seeking, there is Google and AI to help you find it. Taking a leap beyond the realm of what you think is possible is now more crucial and rewarding than ever.

“ In Washington DC, at a Metro Station, on a cold January morning in 2007, a man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, approximately 2000 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.

After about four minutes, a middle-aged man noticed that there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds, and then he hurried on to meet his schedule.

About four minutes later, the violinist received his first dollar. A woman threw money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk.

At six minutes, a young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.

At ten minutes, a three-year old boy stopped, but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head the whole time. This action was repeated by several other children, but every parent - without exception - forced their children to move on quickly.

At forty-five minutes: The musician played continuously. Only six people stopped and listened for a short while. About twenty gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32.

After one hour:
He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed and no one applauded. There was no recognition at all.

No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before, Joshua Bell sold-out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100 each to sit and listen to him play the same music.

This is a true story. Joshua Bell, playing incognito in the D.C. Metro Station, was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people’s priorities.

This experiment raised several questions:
In a common-place environment, at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty?

If so, do we stop to appreciate it?
Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?

One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made…
How many other things are we missing as we rush through life?”

@naval @naval so rightly said. It's been detailed beautifully by Timothy Gallwey in his "The Inner Game Series" books talking about Self 1 'teller' and Self 2 'doer'.
Self2 is a gifted master, a sharp learner, if the judgemental Self1 stops directing, there are practically no limits

@kandoi_nishant Somewhat possible to replicate that investment by buying ETFs for nifty 50, nifty next 50, nifty smallcap 250 and nifty microcap 250

Interesting read from today - fitness & health is not the same. 'fitness' is conditioning 'training effect'.. 'health' is 'physical, mental and social well being' . excerpts from a book by Dr. Dean Ornish.

... strive for both and not just one.

@warikoo Highlights, snippets, self book summaries and re-read absolutely the way to retain more from reading. It's always that cycle read more and more until we realise how do we retain more and more.

Wondering how come if you read all books on Kindle the re-read ones are hard copies ;)
