Domino is an effective term to describe the impact of one small action leading to another small action, like making your bed each morning or attending gym classes regularly, to more complex ones like creating an intricate rainbow spiral from 12,000 dominoes. When considered carefully, these tiny steps could have hugely positive repercussions in both your own life and that of those around you.
One of the most popular forms of domino is a game in which each player places a domino onto the table so that its edges touch a row of already established dominoes, with an aim to creating an array matching their number at each end of the row. Whoever sets up this line first by placing such a domino will win the game.
Domino shows are another type of domino game where teams create elaborate displays for live audiences. Set-up sequences of dominoes carefully planned out in sequence can fall with just the slightest nudging; often spectacular results ensue from such displays built by teams who must possess both creative skill and engineering knowledge to produce such breathtaking shows.
As you engage in a game of domino or observe its effect on multiple others, it becomes apparent that each domino possesses inertia–an inherent tendency to resist motion until some outside force acts upon it–be it as simple as your finger touching its surface, or the entire gravitational pull of our solar system acting upon it. Either way, dominoes possess potential energy which needs only be released.
Domino lovers find great joy in setting up carefully placed pieces and flicking off one after another – it can even become therapeutic when feeling overwhelmed! Pick up a domino and start moving them through carefully planned moves that will soothe nerves and put you back into an ideal state of mind.
Business experts often refer to this phenomenon as the domino effect, wherein one initiative has an immediate and far-reaching effect on an industry as a whole. When one company announces it will offer products at lower prices than competitors do, other firms may follow suit in an attempt to compete, leading them all to increase prices and lower profits overall.
The Domino effect can also be observed in politics. When one country forms close ties with another, their closeness can have a dramatic influence over both policies and attitudes toward other nations – for instance foreign policy might include creating alliances that keep those nations closer to the U.S. by discouraging independent pursuit of interests outside its domain.
