“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 Bounder agency.

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 bounder 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.”

近来，“可持续性”成为了一个流行的词，但是特德·宁对于这一概念总会有自身的体会。他自己在生活中忍受了一段痛苦的“非可持续性”时期之后，清楚地认识到，可持续性价值观必须通过日常行为和选择来体现。

宁回想起20世纪90年代后期他卖保险的那一年，那时他感到很困惑。他经历了网络经济的兴盛与衰败，急切地想找到一份工作，就与宝德的一家保险代理公司签了合同。

工作并不顺利。宁说：“那一步确实走得很差，因为卖保险并不是我的兴趣所在。”可以想见，他对这份工作的犹疑造成了销售业绩不佳。“我那会儿很痛苦，非常焦虑，常常半夜醒来盯着天花板。当时没钱，需要那份工作。大家都说，‘等等吧，情况会好起来的，别着急。’”
