What You Can Learn From The World’s Best Violinist (And His $32 Pay Day)

I liked this article because of the following comment:
Which strategy and signals work best to convey quality will differ across people, situations, and industries. How you, say, set yourself apart from the competition in an entry-level banking job may be entirely different from how you make it to the top as an software developer. But the key is to have a strategy. The bottom line is that if you’re good, you have to let others know it, because otherwise they may never have a clue -- and ignore you just like those morning commuters whisked by Joshua Bell.

Make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things
which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too
hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances
and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because
they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and
conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in
reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man
than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is
his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters
with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an
endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different
sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination
for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that
will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed
to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.
