Right place, right people

Probably the most famous cellist in the world, Yo-Yo Ma, played free in the subway station. Thousands walked by, not realising they missed a performance of a lifetime.

A Banksy painting got auctioned for $1.4 million and immediately shredded itself. The shredded remains may now be worth even more.

Lynn, a inventor, had a brilliant idea to offer to market. It’s her passion and she have a vision. For nine months, every toy company in America was mean to her. She pivoted to the book business, and sold more than 5 million copies of her first book.

Why did no one stop to hear Yo-Yo Ma? Why would shredded paper be worth more? Why wouldn’t toy companies give Lynn a chance?

Where are placing yourself (and your work)?
