OUGD405 Design Process 'What is Research?' Part 1

'Process is more important then outcome'

When the outcome drives the process we will only ever go to where we've already been. If process drives outcome we may not know where we're going, but we will know we want to be there.' - An incomplete manifesto for growth- Bruce Mau Design in 2006

Design doesnt just straighten and clarify the world, it reflects the world as its ventures beyond...

What is confidence?

Confidence is simply your strength of belief that you can play the shot you want. Have enough of it, mix it with passion and skill, and your belief turns into KNOWING – or what I call congruence. There are two types of belief that determine your confidence level:

a) Global beliefs about yourself as a person or “self belief” – eg “I am …” statements, such as “I am naturally talented/athletic/a great learner/…”

b) Specific beliefs about your ability to play certain shots – eg “I can…” or “I’m good at…” statements, such as “I can drive/putt/chip/play bunker shots really well”

Both types of belief create or destroy your confidence, depending on how they make you feel. For example believing “I’m never good enough” would stop you from using all of your skills during shots and would cause endless dissatisfaction after them too – not too good for confidence!!!
