*THE SITUATION*
*In Washington , DC , at a Metro Station, on a cold January morning, this
man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that
time, approximately 2,000 people went through the station, most of them on
their way to work. After about 3 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 4 minutes later:
*
The violinist received his first dollar. A woman threw money in the hat and,
without stopping, continued to walk.
*At 6 minutes:*
A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his
watch and started to walk again.
*At 10 minutes:
*A 3-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 45 minutes:
*
The musician played continuously. Only 6 people stopped and listened for a
short while. About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace.
The man collected a total of $32.
*After 1 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?*
*Make the most of life NOW .. it has an expiry date*

While I personally hate cell phones, and believe that they are a direct
cause of brain tumors for many today, the following from Harmony Fisher is
very valuable to all users:
*4 Things you might not know about your Cell Phone!*
For all the folks with cell phones. (This should be printed and kept in your
car, purse, and wallet. Good information to have with you.)
There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your
mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for
survival. Check out the things that you can do with it:
*FIRST **(Emergency)*
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out
of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is an Emergency, dial
112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the
emergency number for you, and interestingly, this number 112 can be dialed
even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.
*SECOND **(Hidden Battery Power)*
Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#.
Your cell phone will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show
a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge
your cell phone next time.
*THIRD **(How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone? *)
To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following Digits on
your phone: **#06# *
A 15-digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your
handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.
If your phone is stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them
this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief
changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't
get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't
use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in
people stealing mobile phones.
**
*FOURTH **(Free Directory Service for Cells)*
Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411
information calls when they don't have to. Most of us do not carry a
telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even more of
a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply
dial: *(800)
FREE411 *or *(800) 373-3411 *without incurring any charge at all. Program
this into your cell phone now. This is sponsored by McDonalds.
*This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so pass it on
to your family and friends. *
