“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.
「可持续性」如今已成为一个流行词，但对泰德·宁来说，这个概念将始终带有他个人 的意义。正是因为在自己的人生中经历过一段痛苦的、难以为继的时期，他才清楚地认识到： 以可持续为导向的价值观，必须通过日常的行动和选择来体现。
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.
宁回忆起20世纪90年代末卖保险、令他困惑的那一年。他经历过互联网公司的繁荣与破灭，当时急需一份工作，便与博尔德的一家代理公司 签了约。
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.’”
可这件事并不顺利。「那真是个糟糕的决定，因为那并不是我热爱的事，」宁说。不出所料，他对这份工 作的纠结最终表现为销售业绩惨淡。我当时痛苦极了。我焦虑到半夜常常会醒过来，直愣愣地盯着天花板。我身无分文，却又离不开这份工作。大家都说：「再等等吧，你会熬过这道坎的，给它点时间。」
