One cold January morning, a man sat down at a metro station in Washington D.C. and started to play the violin. He played six famous pieces for about 45 minutes. It was rush hour and thousands of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.Three minutes went by before a middle-aged man noticed there was a violinist playing. He slowed his pace, stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet his schedule. A half-minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip—a woman threw the money into his open violin case and without stopping continued to walk.A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen, but then he looked at his watch and walked on again. Clearly he was late for work. The one who paid the violinist the most attention was a three-year-old boy. His mother hurried him up but the child stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced their children to move on.1.
