4th hour

Willy: At least you work hard and know where you are going in life. I have sons
that don't respect me and the sacrifices I've made for them.
George: I settled here for the opportunity it offers me and the chances I get to make something of myself and make my life worth while.
Willy: My sons Biff and Happy just don't seem to get the concept to be successful. I keep trying to pound in their heads that in order to be successful you have to work hard and push that little more even when you feel like giving up.
George: Yeah I work hard on the farm, but I am appreciative of what I can do and accomplish with my life.
Willy: I have made a lot of sacrifices for my sons and they don't seem to acknowledge it. I drive a lot of miles to put food on the table for my family and they don't even care. I have a very loyal wife, Linda, who stands behind me and tries to get the boys to listen, but they won't here us.
George: Yeah I know what you mean.
Willy: I want my boys to be successful and have a good life, but in order to do that you have to have your priorities set and in place. You have to be willing to work hard and strive for the goals that you have set for yourself to become a better person. I am pretty sure my sons want to have a good life they just do not want to work for it. They want to take the easiest way out and it is very stressful and frustrating for me.
George: Yeah I have a similar situation with Lennie. I wanted him to have a job on farm and told the employer he is a good worker and all you need to do is put him to work, but they were a little bit apprehensive about giving him a job because he is a little different.
Willy: Basically I think human beings just want the best for the people they love and care about and it kills us when they do not want the same thing. Or when those people do not take advantage of what is right in front of them until it hits them in the face, but by then it may be too late which is unfortunate.
George: I agree with you. Thanks for talking with me it was nice to have someone going through the same thing talk about. Thanks
