A teen often looks upon his or her friends sa models: “ I dont know who I am, but I know who he is, Ill be like him,” is the underlying thought. Parents also become such mirrors: teens want that mirror to reflect back to the
19、m the vividness and clarity they themselves do not feel.Arguments with parents can often be understood in this context. While those common teenager-parent quarrels, which explode every few days, are often over small things such as homework, housework, and respect; a teenagers real focus is on a pare
20、nts recognition of his maturity and capability and human value. “ No, you cant go out tonight,” implies that a parent you got your keys?” or “Do you have enough money for the bus?” are questions that can be easily accepted if asked by a concerned friend, but awaken a teens own doubts if asked by a p
21、arent.

At that time they all still worked at the jo
27、bs Quetzalcoatl assigned to them.Tula grew. People came from far away to admire its growth. Many asked permission to settle down and enjoy its abundance,which was distributed according to the needs of the people.Topiltzin was in charge of distributing the riches,under the orders of Quetzalcoatl, so
28、that no one would want. They were all content because they all had more than they had ever had. Many worked.They were busy all day.Quetzalcoatl had spent six years among the Toltecs. The house for the heart of the people was almost finished and the granaries full when he decided.“There is prosperity
29、(繁荣)and abundance in all the land.Let us extend it beyond the mountains.We shall go to the land of the Chichimecs.It is time to take my mission to them. I shall make them better,I shall make them live together,I shall gather them in towns,I shall teach them to till the land and to build their homes.
30、“Let us leave them in their land as they are now ,“Topiltzin argued,“They are savages(野蛮人);their life is violent and disorderly.They move freely,like the wind in the mountains and the plains,with nothing to keep them.Leave them where they are.There is much that we must do in our own land.“I do not b

I shall take the gods of Tula to them,“Quetzalcoatl said.“Think carefully about what we shall do.You do not know them.They do not understand words. They are like savage animals,like jaguars,“ Topiltzin
32、 insisted.“I shall go,“said Quetzalcoatl.“My life must be accomplished.This time you will not accompany me because you do not have the will to go.I shall leave soon with some of my followers.“Do not go with so few people! I shall accompany you with skillful warriors who are usedto killing Chichimecs
33、 and avoiding their traps.“ Topiltzin insisted.“I am not going there with violence. I shall go to them as I came here,to take them the gifts of life and the doctrine of sin and redemption(原罪与救赎).“You have not spoken of sin and redemption for a long time,“ Tattle remarked. He had been listening atten
34、tively to the dialogue,and was then close to seventeen years of age.“You have not come near the Tree you planted in the square in a long time.The Tree has no shoots,it has not grown,it looks sad and lonely.“During this time,Tattle,I have often thought of it.There was confusion in my spirit.Now the T

Thats why were such enthusiastic consumers of “top 10” lists of things to do to be a more productive, promotable, mindful you name itleader. B
40、ut these lists seldom work. What if we didnt think of self-improvement as work? What if we thought of it as playspecifically, as playing with our sense of self?Traditionally, people work on themselves, committed to doing everything in their power to change their leadership style. You set your goals
41、and objectives, you are mindful of your time, and seek efficient solutions. Youre not going to deviate(偏离) from the straight and narrow. You focus on what you should do, especially as others see it, as opposed to what you want to do. Its all very serious and not whole of fun. There is one right answ
42、er. Success or failure is the outcome. We judge ourselves.In contrast, no matter what youre up to, when youre in “play” mode, your primary drivers are enjoyment and discovery instead of goals and objectives. Youre curious. You lose track of time. Like in all forms if play, the journey becomes more i
43、mportant than a pre-set destination.Much research shows how play develops creativity and innovation. Play with your own idea of yourself is similar to playing with future possibilities. So, we stop evaluating todays self against unachievable ideal of leadership that doesnt really exist. We also stop
44、 trying to will ourselves to “commit” to becoming something we are not even sure we want to bewhat we call the “feared self”, which is composed of images negative role models. And, we shift direction from submitting to what other people want us to be to becoming more self-authoring. As a result, whe
45、n you play, youre more creative and more open to what you might learn about yourself.Unfortunately, we dont often get or give ourselvespermission to play with our sense of self. In life, we equate playfulness with the person who dips into a great variety of possibilities, never committing to any. We
46、 find inconsistency distasteful, so we exclude options that seem too far off from todays “authentic self”, without ever giving them a try. This kills the discontinuous growth that only comes when we surprise ourselves.Psychoanalyst Adam Phillips once said, “people tend to play only with serious thin
47、gsmadness, disaster, other people.” Playing with your self is a serious effort because who we might become is not knowable or predictable at the start. Thats why its as dangerous as it is necessary for growth.Lead-in People want to improve their 51 .People can apply work mode or play mode.In work modeo
