A question.
A question is like hunger.
You can put out hunger to rest by giving it food,
and a question to rest by giving its answer.
Greetings, everyone.
I’m Ishaan, and I have a question for you all at the end of this.
So let's get started.
(Music)
(Music ends)
Let’s get into today’s question.
What is the domino effect?
It looks like a huge boring term,
but wait, it really isn’t.
It’s connected to you.
Domino, again,
about which many of you will know about.
(Music)
[MAKE]
[BREAK]
[REBUILD]
[UNDO]
[START AFRESH]
(Music ends)
Let me explain.
It’s so simple,
and that’s what makes it beautiful.
You can build it, break it,
make beautiful houses out of it,
or just throw it away.
Build it in the day or night,
build it wrong or right.
Well, break the thing you just made, and build something new.
The best thing you can do is to stack them side by side
and let them push each other.
Why?
Because it exactly shows your everyday life.
But how?
Let me explain.
(Music)
(Music ends)
You wake up in the morning with a fresh mood.
That’s the first block down.
You ready up for your school.
Second block down.
And you go to your school.
Third block down.
(Music)
(Music ends)
And this cycle continues on and on.
And well,
you can replace it with anything you do.
But yes, if your sleep wasn’t enough,
or you don’t feel fresh,
the domino isn’t going smooth.
In reality, every step you take, and everything you do
affects you in a small or a big way.
Sometimes it happens suddenly,
and sometimes the domino block is too far away,
meaning it would take some time to reach there.
And this is how you made up.
The chain reaction of dominoes or life
is beautiful and bizarre.
You decide what to build and what not to,
both in your life
and while you’re playing with dominoes.
And this is what makes you moving.
So this is what the domino effect is.
It can be applied to almost anything in the world.
Let’s take a sneak peek of what we have discussed.
[RECAP]
The domino effect can be seen in our everyday life.
The domino effect is a series of chain reaction.
We can make anything with dominoes as we can with our lives.
And lastly, the domino effect is bigger than you think.
Now, I'm asking you a question.
Do you see the bizarre phenomenon of the domino effect in your daily life?
Thank you, AFSC and TEDx, for giving me the chance to perform.
[THANKS]
Just one last thing.
Never stop building,
because when you start building the dominoes,
they are over.
And you just have a limited number of dominoes.
So make the best of them.
See you.
Thank you.
