“Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.” - Scott Adams
The Ripple Effect has a lot to do with making a change and influencing others to follow in your footsteps. All that is needed is that first person to be courageous, or that first drop of water, to cause a revolution. With one kind word, ripples will spread and people will be influenced to transitivley carry on with a kind action.
The Domino Effect
The domino effect is a chain reaction that occurs when a small change causes a similar change nearby, which will then cause another similar change. The term is best known as a mechanical effect, and is used as an analogy to a falling row of dominoes. It can be used literally (an observed series of actual collisions) or metaphorically (causal linkages within systems such as global finance or politics). The Domino Effect is not only seen in politics, mechanics and economics, but in also the everyday lives of a person. Every trend, every song, became popular due to a chain reaction.
