Do you remember those world record attempts with all the dominoes? I used to love to sit and watch those episodes of 'Record Breakers' when they had those ones on there. The patience and determination of those people was astounding if you think about it. To tip just one started a whole cavalcade of topples, one after the other, in the most intricate of patterns. Then there were the times when they had set up hundreds of thousands of them and a cockroach would creep in the night before and knock them all down. That must have been heartbreaking.

But so satisfying for the cockroach.

We used to have a toy where lots of domino type things were attached to a plastic rack and you just flipped them all up then knocked them all down. Not so much fun. Not so satisfying as watching everything you have worked for go exactly according to plan.

If you do not put the effort in, if it wasn't you that did all the work, then things lose their shine in my opinion. Clearly it isn�t so for everyone. Some people it seems, like to be the one to come in at the end and push them all over, smile and say 'didn't I do well' - I think it takes a good person to bite their tongue and say nothing. After all, as long as you know the truth then it is ok right?
