Every one of us is followed by a shadow. Not the literal one, formed by
blocking rays of light. No, the metaphoric one: the shadow of doubt. It lingers
to suffocate any hopeful vestiges of ambition. I really want to do this, but…..
That is the power of doubt. It’s important to get to know doubt. It’s the only
way to understand that; wavering opinion and uncertainty is built on the unreliable
grounds of fear. After all, what is fear but the greatest exaggerator?
Brad Bird is a movie director with an infectious passion for
creativity. Speaking on the subject of indecision at Google he says, “Doubt is
always a character in the room. And it’s the alpha in the room. You, have to
try and “find a way to win every time!... It’s easier to knock down an idea
than it is to protect it and nurture it and help it get strong. Negativity is
like a weed that is really hardy and doubtous... you can make any idea sound
bad... The internet, as good as it is; is also a killing ground for good ideas
where people snark from the shadows and kill positive things in their cradle”.
Brad Bird’s words aren't just birds. There is a deep truth
to this.
