From the question, we are informed that Aaron leads a sales team and that Ralph is the only team member who has not yet reached his quarterly sales quota.
Aaron can best help Ralph in this situation by reminding Ralph to keep working on his goal because it will get harder to reach if he wastes time worrying about.
This is a way of encouraging Ralph and motivating him as worry won't help his present situation.
