At the various times when I have helped you a little you have said to me, 'We can get along very well now'; but in a very short time I find you in the same difficulty again.
Now, this can only happen by some defect in your conduct.

What that defect is, I think I know.

You are not lazy, and still you are an idler.

I doubt whether, since I saw you, you have done a good whole day's work in any one day.

You do not very much dislike to work, and still you do not work much, merely because it does not seem to you that you could get much for it.
