In 2007, a man played the violin for 45 minutes in the Washington underground.
1,097 people passed him by.
Only seven stopped. He earned $32.
That violinist is Joshua Bell. He is playing a $3.5 million Stradivarius.
Two days earlier, he had played to a full house at a theatre in Boston.
It's a social experiment by the Washington Post. The lesson is simple. Greatness does not announce itself always.
Even genius goes unnoticed in the wrong place. Talent matters, but context multiplies it.
If you feel ignored, perhaps the problem is not yours capacity.
Perhaps it's the stage you're playing on.
