最近，“承受力”已成为一个流行词，但对TedNing来说，它却有着特殊的含义。

他曾经历过一段难以承受的痛苦生活，因此他很清楚，旨在提高承受力的价值观

只有通过日常行为和抉择才能得到体现。

Ning回忆起20世纪90年代末销售保险的那一年，那是令人感到困惑的一年。

他经历了网络泡沫的膨胀和破灭，由于急需找到一份工作，因此就与Boulder代

理公司签了约。

但情况并不顺利。“这一步的确是糟糕的一步，因为我对那份工作没有热情。”

Ning与。正如所料，在工作上的困境表现为缺乏销量。“我很痛苦。我如此焦虑，

以至于会在半夜醒来，然后盯着天花板。我身无分文，我需要这份工作。大家都

说：‘等等吧，会有转机的，再给一段时间吧。’”
