I Doubt It

When I travel, I often take my ipod and listen to The Charlie Rose Show episodes I have downloaded with a notebook and pen. I take copious notes so I can go back and understand them later. Every show I find several comments by his guests that I cannot let go of for days. Today, I listened to his show about the new movie "Doubt." The movie is based on the 2004 play by John Patrick Shanley. While the cast and conversation were interesting, I wanted to know more because so much of what I deal with in my work is the "feel" of doubt in people.

I googled the play and found that the opening line is "What do you do when you're not sure?"

My first thought was what a great question. The second thought was something physicist Richard Feynman said that science gives us the freedom to doubt...

The interview left me with so many other thoughts, about myself, about people close to me, and about our leaders...which it seems to me is exactly why Shanley wrote the play.

I would love to know how you answer that question. Please email me (dougnewburg @poweredbyfeel.com) if you're willing to share and let me know if I can use your answer in this blog.
