New possibilities, new experiences, new connections
I’ve probably watched this video (embedded below) a dozen times and each time I come away with something different. The video is of the TED talk given by Benjamin Zander, the conductor of The Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, and it offers inspiration by, among other things, asking “Who am I being.”
His passion for classical music is astonishing, and he doesn’t get deterred by the negativity surrounding the closing of orchestras or survey results showing that only 3 percent of the population likes classical music.
“There are some people who think that classical music is dying. And there are some of us who think you ain’t seen nothin’ yet,” he says.
His talk is funny, inspiring, motivating, eye-opening and likely the best 20 minutes, 46 seconds you could spend today.
I mentioned each time I watch it I pick up something new. Here is what I heard today:
“The conductor of the orchestra doesn’t make a sound. He depends, for his power, on his ability to make other people powerful. And that changed everything for me. It was totally live-changing. . . I realized my job was to awaken possibility in other people.” – Benjamin Zander
