Goethe taught, "Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he can and should be and he will become as he can and should be."
如果你只把一個人當作他現有的樣子看待，他就會一直停留在那個狀態；反之，如果你相信並看見他能夠變成更好、更理想的樣子，對他予以鼓勵和支持，他就會朝著那個方向成長。
作者強調期望與認知的重要性。當我們只根據一個人的現狀來評價他時，就無法激發他的潛力；而當我們看到並相信一個人具有更大的可能性，並用那份信心來對待他時，那個人也會被引導去實現自己的潛能，從而達到更好的狀態。
