This chapter is all about being apart of something. It isn't about how much you achieved but the fact that you did it. It is like learning from the experience, not the grade. If you get an A, but you did not learn anything, then it doesn't matter. When my brother and I were little, my dad told us ALL the time, "If you aren't part of the solution, you are part of the problem." This quote ties into the story at the beginning of the chapter very well. If the man would have done anything, he would have been part of the solution. However, standing there and saying how pointless it is just adds to the problem. Just having a positive outlook is being a contribution because your attitude rubs off, whether positive or negative.
