Nakon tri minuta sredovečni čovek je primetio muzičara koji svira.
Usporio je, zastao na par sekundi a onda požurio da stigne na vreme. Minut kasnije, violinista je primio prvi dolar kao napojnicu: žena mu je bacila dolar u kutiju bez zastajanja, i nastavila da hoda. Nakon par minuta neko se naslonio na zid da ga sluša, ali je onda čovek pogledao na sat i ponovo počeo da hoda. Očito je kasnio na posao.
Najviše pažnje je pokazao trogodišnji dečak. Majka ga je pošurivala ali je dete zastalo da čuje violinistu. Majka ga je povukla i dete je nastavilo da hoda neprestano se osvrčucći. Takvu reakciju pokazalo je jos nekoliko dece, ali svi roditelji bez izuzetka, primorali su ih da nastave dalje.
Za 45 minuta sviranja, samo šest ljudi se zaustavilo i kratko slušalo muziku. Oko 20 je dalo novac, ali su nastavili da hodaju normalnom brzinom. Sakupio je 32$. Kada je prestao da svira, nastala je tišina ali to niko nije primetio. Niko nije zatapšao niti je pokazao bilo kakvu reakciju.
Niko nije znao da je violinista bio Joshua Bell, jedan od najboljih muzičara sveta. On je svirao neka od najintrigantnijih dela ikada napisanih, na violini vrednoj 3,5 miliona dolara. Dva dana pre sviranja u metrou, Joshua Bell je rasprodao koncert u Bostonskom pozorištu gde je karta koštala 100$.
Ovo je stvarna priča. Joshua Bell je svirao inkognito u okviru eksperimenta koji je organizovao list Vasington Post, o percepciji, ukusu i prioritetima koje ljudi imaju.
Osnovno pitanje za eksperiment je bilo:
Na javnom mestu u neadekvatno vreme:
Da li primećujemo lepotu?
Da li zastajemo da bismo u njoj uživali?
Da li prepoznajemo talenat u neočekivanom kontekstu?
Jedan od mogucih zaključaka ovog iskustva mogao bi biti:
Ako nemamo minut da zastanemo i slušamo jednog od najboljih muzičara sveta koji svira najbolju ikad napisanu muziku, koliko drugih stvari onda tako propuštamo?
Da dopunimo ovu priču video klipom o ovom događaju.

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
