5. Case Study
Anna was working on a design project for the new library that was
opening soon. After hours of tedious work, she felt as though she wouldn’t
finish on time or have enough energy to make a great design. She began to feel
discouraged and depressed. When she walked back into her office, she saw the
small plaque she received after her last design project. It made her smile to
remember that she had done something so successful.
She remembered the problems she had on the last project and thought about how she dealt with them. Anna knew this project was different and had more steps to it than the last one, but she knew how to handle those when they came up. When she thought of her finished design, she thought of how great the library would look and how it would benefit so many people. Feeling more confident and positive, Anna set back to work on her design.
