"Sustainability" has become a popular word these days, but to Ted Ning, the concept will always have personal meaning. Having endured a painful period of unsustainability in his own life made it clear to him that sustainability-oriented values must be expressed through everyday action and choice.
Ning recalls spending a confusing year in the late 1990s selling insurance. He’d been through the dot-com boom and burst and, desperate for a job, signed on with a Boulder agency.
It didn’t go well. "It was a really bad move because that’s not my passion," says Ning, whose dilemma about the job translated, predictably, into a lack of sales. "I was miserable, I had so much anxiety that I would wake up in the middle of the night and stare at the ceiling. I had no money and needed the job. Everyone said, ’Just wait, you’ll turn the corner, give it some time.’"
选项
答案
当今,“承受力”已经成为了一个流行的词语。但是,对Ted Ning来说,他对这个词有着自身的体会。在忍受了一段痛苦的、难以承受的生活之后,他清楚地意识到,以承受力导向的生活价值需要通过日常的行动和抉择加以体现。 Ning回忆了在20世纪90年代末他在困惑中度过的一年,那年他从事保险销售工作。经历了网络经济的兴盛和衰败之后,他非常渴望得到一份工作,于是和一家Boulder经销商签了合同。 事情进展并不顺利。Ning说:“那的确是很糟糕的一种变动,我对那份工作没有热情。”可以想象,他这种工作上的窘境造成销售业绩不佳。他说:“很惨,我非常焦虑,常常会在半夜醒来,盯着天花板。没有钱,我需要这份:工作。每个人都会说‘等吧,总会有转机的,给点时间吧。’”
