I think
1.He is certain(sure) to do get the next one =>The speaker or writer is sure that such thing will happen.
2.He is sure of getting the next one =>He(Subject) is sure that such thing will happen.
Considering these, doesn't it have to be corrected to "you'll be sure of getting the next one", which is also confusing, I think this is ill-written. What do you think?
25)“Why” questions can get you reasons, explanations and excuses. But they usually don’t come up with useful and helpful information. Don’t ask your kid why he is having trouble with his math. Ask him what he needs to do to perform better. There’s no need to ask an employee why he didn’t get a contract you were bidding for. Ask him how he can change so you’ll be certain to get the next one. Good communicators aren’t interested in the reason why something is going wrong. They want to find out how to do it right. The right questions will lead you in that direction, and finally solve the problems you are facing.
