刺激他们去成长。

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.——Helen Keller

要么冒险，要么就一事无成，这就是人生。——海伦·凯勒

If a friend tells you they plan to drop 10 lbs, tell them, "10 lbs? Please. I bet you can get so fit that people's jaws will drop when you walk past them."

如果有朋友告诉你他们计划要瘦十磅，你应该说：“十磅？拜托，我打赌你肯定能瘦到当你走过时人们都惊到张口结舌。”

Throw down the gauntlet, make sure they know you believe they can do it, and ask: "Challenge accepted?"

撂下挑战，这样他们就会知道你相信他们能做到，不妨再问一句：“敢不敢试试？”
