It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times
and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They
have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents out of
touch with modern ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that
they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk
too much about certain problems-and that they have no sense of humor,
at least in parent child relationships.
I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage
children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.
Young people often irritate their parents with their dislikes in
clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their
motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not
yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own.
Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or
clothes or hairstyles tease their parents, this gives them additional
enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and
that they are leaders in style and taste.
Sometimes you are resistant, and proud because you do not want your
parents to approve of what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if
you are bereaving your own age group. But in that case, you are
assuming that you are the underdog: you can’t win but at least you
can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is
natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely
under your parent’s control. But isignores the fact that you are now
beginning to be responsible for yourself. So if you plan to control
your life, cooperation can be part of that plan.You can charm
others,especially parents,into doing things the way you want.You can
impress others with yous sense of responsibility and
initiative主动，so that they will give you the authorty权力 to do
what you want to do.

When young people get their first real jobs,they may tace a lot of
new,confusing situations.They may find that everything is different
from the way things were at school.It is also possible that they will
feel uncomfortable and insecure in both professional and social
situations.Eventually,they realize that university classes can't be the
only preparation for all of the different situations that arise in the
working world.

Perhaps the best way to learn how to behave im the working world is to
identify a worker you admire and observe his behavior.In doing so,you
will be able to see what it is that you admire in this person.For
example,you will observe how he acts in a crisis.Perhaps even more
important,you will be able to see what is his qpproach to day-to-day
situations.

while you are observing your colleague(同事)，you should be asking
yourself whether his be havior is like yours and how you can learn from
his responses to a variety of situations.By watching and learning from
a model,you will probably begin to identify and adopt good working
habits.
