Look around in your (your parents, neighbours whatever) circle of friends. How many people are there with MBAs, Dr. Med.'s etc. Nice jobs, yes. Nice houses, nice cars. Also, and this is what you don't see, usually lots of debt. Many of these people are still broke by every definition of the book, negative net worth. Job's don't make you rich, never have never will.

This is the message of the Jap guy, that's all you need to learn. Once you understand working the same job day by day is (almost) never going to make you financially independent then this lesson is invaluable. Millions of little hard-working lemmings on this planet will never get it though.
