Many people miss out on great opportunities because they simply won't take the time to stop and pay attention. Many network marketers are so busy working hard at not succeeding that that they don't even see the irony of their situations. Often times they are so wrapped up in promoting their business opportunity that common sense and logic go out of the window. Does it not make sense to at least take a look at a business paying 100% commissions when you are only currently receiving 1%, 5%, 10%, 40% or something else that is not 100%? Of course it does, and you owe it to yourself to at least take a look at the Empower Network by visiting www.antoniomooreempowernet.com . The Empower Network is not a network marketing company and, in fact, the training you receive will teach you how to leverage the exposure and money you make as part of the Empower Network into building your primary network marketing business! If you have visited the site and it's not for you, that's one thing; but don't miss out simply because you didn't stop and take a look! www.antoniomooreempowernet.com .
The following is a true story from the Washington Post ( wpo.st/-vP ). I would love to hear your thoughts and comments! Video will be posted at www.ibosocial.com/asmoore/videos.aspx .
What Are We Missing?
Washington DC, Metro Station, on a cold January morning in 2007.
The man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approximately 2 thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
After 3 minutes a middle aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried to meet his schedule.
4 minutes later:
The violinist received his first dollar. A woman threw the money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk.
6 minutes:
A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.
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 all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly.
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.
1 hour:
He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.
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.
Joshua Bell playing incognito in the Metro Station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people's priorities.
The questions raised: In a common place environment at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty? 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?

 | | Agreed Renita! I thank you and Darleen for your comments as well. People are as happy as they choose to be and I know you both have made that decision for yourselves. Continued blessings and success! |
| | | | | Yvonne and Charles, thanks for your comments! One must humble and willing to "check their ego at the door." Nobody is perfect, but the goal should be to "attract" and not "chase," by helping others and offering real value (e.g., 100% commissions). |
| | |  | | Take time to enjoy life's pleasures. Never forget this. Life is too short. Don't let happiness pass you by. Everyone needs to take a break every now and then and see what has been passing them by.
|
| | | | | Thank you for your comment Kevin. I don't believe it is wise to "blame" anyone (not even "Gurus") for the choices we make or don't make. Once we realize that we determine our success, then we are able to better sift through the "noise" and take the necessary action to succeed. |
| | |  | | This is an excellent program snd a great story Antonio..thank you ;) |
| | | | | Thanks for your comments Carolyn and Tommy. Carolyn, it can be "overwhelming," but only if you let it. Often times we overwhelm ourselves by not taking a step back and just keeping things simple. I'm open to chat with anyone about ways to avoid being "overwhelmed." |
| | |  | | We are reluctant to really look at what is right in front of us. We are stuck in that rut that we stepped in a while back and refuse to take the step out. So, we stay in that rut thinking it is going to lead us to where we want to go. We stay in it on a path to the unknown. Great blog! |
| | |  | | Great Antonio. Chasing after the wrong things can be exhausting. Determination to succeed even if it is futile is humanity"s way of not admitting when we made a bad decision or a mistake. Reflection in crucial. |
| | |  | | Great Blog Antonio, it not their fault I blame the Gurus " un " Again great Blog! |
| | |  | | Excellent blog Antonio as usual, and great information in your blogs. Already sent to twitter. |
| | |  | | Thanks for this wonderful blog Antonio, very informational. Information that useful. I agree with Laura at times it seems so overwhelming finding the right words to say, the right tags to use, did I say that correctly so many thoughts. I appreciate the blog |
| | | | | Thank you so much for your comments here and on the IBOtoolbox wall Todd, Dennis, and Laura. I am further humbled by your kind words and just hope that the information will be a blessing to someone. Todd, CONGRATULATIONS again on being the IBO Featured Member of the Day! |
| | |  | | Wonderful story Antonio! I think we can all get so overwhelmed sometimes by all the thousands of offers out here. Thank you for taking the time to explain and share! |
| | |  | | We know we are missing opportunities. Especially in spending time with the ones we love. It takes a certain mindset that must be upheld when working. What could be considered beauty we often miss because our mind is set on business. Fantastic article. |
| | |  | | This is probably the best post I have seen on here. Very well done. |
| | | | | Thanks Tom! I appreciate your comments! |
| | |  | | That's Excellent, Antonio! |
| | | | | That's Excellent, Antonio! |
