That meeting turned out to be my exit interview. I was 64 years old at the time. It wasn39。t pletely unexpected. I signed a pile of papers and left the pany. So, 40 plus years of employment was over. I had a good reputation and background. Retirement was not a choice for me. I wanted to do something. And then an idea came into my mind, born from my concern for our environment. I wanted to build my own business, designing and producing biodegradable(可生物降解的)packaging from waste. This is called clean technology, and it was really meaningful to me. It could help reduce billions of pounds of singleuse plastic packaging wasted each year. Five years later, I39。m delighted and proud to share with you that our ine has doubled every year and we have no debt. Meanwhile, I have a wonderful partner, and we39。ve won more than 20 awards for the work that we39。ve done. And I am doing the most rewarding and meaningful work of my life right now. But what I really long for is to find other firsttime entrepreneurs(企業(yè)家)who are my age. I want to connect with them. So I want to do something about that in a few years. I want us to start talking more about people who don39。t bee entrepreneurs until they are seniors. And then connecting all of them across industries, regions and countries—building a munity.（1）What happened to the author nine years ago?

Real life, family, work, and monetary limitations get in the way. Ian Fleming let none of these considerations stop him. After the war, Fleming set down his schedule. The first week of January saw him leave England and travel to Jamaica. The first week of March saw his return. He accepted his job at Kemsley newspapers without promise—this portion of the year would be set aside for Jamaica or he would look elsewhere for employment. For 6 years Fleming traveled each winter to Jamaica, lounging in paradise, romancing women, chasing the sunset, but it was not until he faced the pressure of a married woman who was pregnant with his child did Fleming start the writer39。s journey which would change his life and popular culture forever.

Fleming filled out the 12 years of Bond with great adventure journalism. Even in stories which had little action or pay off, such as his short nonfiction book, The Diamond Smugglers, the Flemingflair ensured exciting reading.
