This episode presents the premise that no one knows the key to success. While there are practices and principles that lead to success, these are not guarantees. While we cannot put our finger on the "thing" that brings success, the same is true for failure. No one knows if or when failure or success will come. Consequently, we should not be too caught up with ourselves when life favours us with success, neither should we turn our noses up at people who do not acquire great wealth. While we work to achieve our level of success as we deem it, we should always remember to honour people who have not reached a high level of means, affluence or influence. Let us embrace people for the person that they are; treating them not "like a means to an end, but rather, as ends in themselves."
