Challenge + Response = Outcome
So tenderly your story is
Nothing more than what you see
Or what you’ve done or will become
Standing strong do you belong
In your skin; just wondering
~ Clint Eastwood (Jamie Cullum)
If it would become possible to buy any dream you wanted, would you try to buy? If yes, then why you never worked to achieve it?
Okay, I’m giving you the answer.
You force yourself not to go for your dream because you know—life is never easy for those who dream. It’ll knock you down; push you back and make you the reason to be laughed for.
Then your inner-voice whispers to you, “Better, don’t try.”
THE ATTITUDE
You know dear, there is a formula:
C + R = O
(CHALLENGE + RESPONSE = OUTCOME)

- Show interest. (“Really …” “Then what you did ….”)
- Encourage the speaker to develop competence and motivation to solve the problem independently. (“I can feel it, when I have faced it I did ….”)
- Listen to clarify. (“Do you mean …?” “Is this the problem?”)
- Listen to be neutral. (“I see.” “Uh-huh.” “That’s interesting.”)
- Listen to bring discussion into focus. (“These are the ideas you have mentioned …” “Your priorities are …”
