How to become a self-made man 
It's time you sorted yourself out. You're 23 now and you still haven't got 
a job! You've got to face up to reality. It's about time you realized that 
the secret of success lies in taking positive action. Over the next couple 
of days, I will expect you to come up with a few ideas about how you're 
going to improve your situation, or else you can go and live somewhere 
else. Why don't you go and see about that job uncle Herbert offered you 
at his factory? I've offered to help talk things over with you, but you 
never seem to want my help. You don't deal with things yourself. 
Sometimes I think you're just waste of space!

a good job with Mr. Smith.
