Paul Ferrini 著， 周玲莹 译 ，若水修订
当你舍弃某个关系，或放弃承诺时，通常是因为你不愿面对眼前的恐惧。这种三十六计走为上策的应付办法是行不通的，因为你不过是转个身又造出另一种人际关系或另一种情境，到头来你还是得面对同样的恐惧。

Often, you leave a relationship or break another commitment you have made because you don\'t want to deal with the fears that are coming up for you. This exit strategy never works, because you will just turn around and create another relationship or another situation in which the same fears need to be faced.

除非学会你的人生课程，否则你是避不开它的。你可能需要透过二十个人，经过二十种不同的历练，到最后你还是非得面对这一恐惧不可。

You cannot leave your lesson before you learn it. You may need to experience that lesson with twenty different people in twenty different ways, but in the end you have to face your fears.
