Don’t judge me, you know nothing about me, what I’ve been through..what I’m going through. You have no right to say I’ve change when you know nothing of me..when all that’s coming out of your mouth are lies.
I’m not the same girl I used to be that would just stay still while I let people like you walk over me.. No not anymore.
Please take a moment to read:
A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
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.
A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping, and continued to walk.
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.
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. This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.
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. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, on a violin worth $3.5 million dollars.
Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a 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?
One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be:
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?One thing I got from this was that children really understand true beauty, whereas some adults can become completely caught up in their busy lives they do not notice the true beauty of the world they live in and the things around them. They can completely pass these by.
I think everyone needs to stop. Just stop, and think about how lucky they are to live in such a beautiful place, with beautiful things, people and music. Appreciate where you are, who you are with and the things happening around you. You never know, you might see something extraordinary.
Take a moment..slow down and enjoy life.
Why do we always expect the guy to do everything? Starting the conversation, putting in all the effort etc. Why do we always put all this weight on the guy’s shoulders? I think that both, the guy and girl, should be putting in the same effort. Nobody should be putting in too much effort and nobody should be putting in too little. I don’t know, but I just think that the guys deserve a little bit of slack every now and then. Don’t you think?
Agree..
Girls are complicated. We say things we don’t mean. We let our emotions get the better of ourselves. We’re not always confident. We get jealous when we see you talk to another girl. When we tell you something, we mean the complete opposite. Sometimes, we have high expectations. We want you to chase after us, and want you to show us that we actually do mean something to you. But hey, everyone has their flaws.
Okie..I admit it..
Too funny!!
Omfg haahaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!
