◇ Don't wait for an apology. "Many times the person who hurt you has no intention of apologizing," Luskin says. "They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time."
不要等候道歉。卢斯金说：“在很多情况下，伤害你的人不会想着向你道歉，他们可能就是想伤害你或者他们对事情的看法与你大相径庭。所以如果你等别人向你道歉，很可能要很长时间。”
