Isn't this amazing ?

‎"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?"

dont mess with mom

My son came home from school one day,
With a smile on his face.


He decided it was smart,

To put in my place.


"Guess what I learned two Civics,

taught by Mr. Wright?

It is now a matter of law,

"Children's Bill of Rights."


It says that I need not clean my room,

Do not cut my hair

Nobody can tell me what you think

O speak, or what to wear.


I have freedom of religion,

And whatever you say

Do not lower your head,

And I'm certainly not need to pray.


I use the earrings, if I want,

And Pierce my tongue and nose.


I can read and watch only what they want,

Get tattoos from head to toe.


And if I ever hit,

I will be accused of a crime.


I'll keep all my burdens,

When a track.


Did you ever touch me,

My body is only for my own use,

Not for your hugs and kisses,

Do not preach about your morals,

As your mother has done for you.


This is nothing more than mind control,

And it's illegal too!

Mom, I have rights of these children,

So you can not touch me

Or call Children's Services Division,

Better known as "C S D"

Mother answers and thoughts

Of course, my first reaction was

Throw it out the door.


But the chance to teach him a lesson

It reminds me a little more.


I carefully mulled

I could not pass this.


A smile crept across my face;

who is playing with a professional.


The next day I buy

At the local level, local Goodwill ..


I told him, "Pick anything you want

there shirts and pants galore.


I called and checked with C S D.


Who said they did not bother

If I bought the shoes that K-Mart

Instead of Nike Airs.


I canceled that appointment

Take a test driver.


The C D S does not care

So I'll decide what is best. "


I said "No time to stop and eat,

Or pick up stuff to munch.


And tomorrow you can begin to learn

For your lunch "EFEN own.


Just put the raging appetite,

And wait till dinner time.


We have liver and onions

My favorite dish. "


He asked: "Can I please rent a movie,

To view my VCR?

"Sorry, but I sold your TV,

For new tires on my car.


I also rented your room

You can take the couch instead.


The Commission should

Only a roof over their head.


Her clothes are not fashionable today,

I'll choose what we eat.


This grant is used to get,

I will buy something clean.


Sell ​​personal watercraft,

Dirt bikes and inline skates.


Check the parents of the Bill of Rights "

And 'it today!

Hey hot shot, mourn,

Why are you kneeling?

You asked God to help you,

Instead of C S D.? "


Send to all those who have teenagers or have already raised teenagers,

Or have children who will soon be teenagers or those who will one day parents

Or the person who just get a laugh. I love this!

From Mom

(Half of the unappreciated mother.)

Try Believing In Yourself

A man entered a search for truth. A first religious man he met was sitting under the tree just outside his own village.
He asked me: "I'm looking for a true champion. Pl tell the characteristics of
His description is very simple. He said,
"You are sitting under the tree this or that, sitting in the position of this or that, his hand making a particular gesture, which is enough to know that is the true master
The plaintiff began looking, it is said that thirty years have passed, while they roamed the earth. He visited many places, but never met with the teacher,

He met many masters, but none were true champion. He returned to his village completely exhausted.

On returning he was surprised that I could not believe this old man sat under the same tree, and how I could see it was the same as the old man had spoken of
"...... They sit in the tree ....." this or that and his attitude was exactly what I described. "It was the same position, he sat for thirty years
I was blind?
This is exactly the expression on his face, precise movements.

He felt his feet, saying
"Why did not you tell me that the first place?
Why turn away from those 30 years?
Why did not you tell me you're the true champion? "
The old man said: I told you so, but they were not willing to listen.

You were not ready to come home without migrants away, you had to knock on doors in a thousand homes to come
your own home, then you could only go back, I said that every thing under a particular tree.
I described this very tree I was sitting in the posture, but they were too fast, you could not hear clearly, that they were bent.

you had some part in the research. Search
 It was very important to you. the truth was not so important.
"But you came, I felt tired all the time sitting in this position for you.

I wandered past thirty years, but think of me, sitting under the tree, I know that some day would come, but if I was dead? I waited for you, you came, you had to wander for 30 years, but it is their own fault, the captain was already there.

"Many times in our lives we do not see what is around and within us and what we attract is the sweet distant drum sound, which are pulled by distant dreams.

Try to believe in yourself and try to see inside, do not think he is a master in you.
