I don't expect deep philosophical lessons in a manga, but that is really profound. About as much as a puddle is compared to the ocean.
It's worse than the usual platitudes you can hear from motivational speeches.
"One step behind is one step behind."
What's next?
Every day, a day passes.
What goes up, goes up.
You reap what you reap.
There is no "I" in team. No "W" either.
