So my line of work entails playing with dominoes from time to time. As I was building my circle I started thinking about how dominoes are totally awesome and people should do them more often. But more so, as dominoes have been on my brain recently because I also saw some clips of a huge dominoes tournament on TV the other day – which was super BA and amazing to watch, how you can learn valuable lessons from dominoes.
Ok in this ever so embarrassing fault at least I know that I’m not the only one. I just have to put it out there and hope no one will judge me too harshly. But I admit that it takes me multiple times before I successfully have all the dominoes and place and ready to begin. Along the way it is usually inevitable that my hand brushes a piece and then its over. The other day when I was trying to make my circle, I must have knocked it over at least 7 or 8 times and it was always conveniently towards the end. yes i admit that there is something wrong w/ a 24 yr old ineptness at placing small wooden blocks in a straight line centimeters apart. ugh.
But I couldn’t stop. I had this irrational desire to get it right no matter how many times i knocked it over. It was about persistence, perfection, and patience. All of which I clearly suck at doing. After my dexterity and spatial functioning hit a level inferior to that of a 3 yr old, I finally had my rainbow-colored strip of entertainment in place.
Et voila! They all came tumbling d….o….w….n….
