# SCOTOMAVILLE 01.12 - IT Needs Work REFLECTION

Daniel watches his earlier self while updating the book and sees that he has matured, even through eight failed property offers and seven project pivots. "it's not the things that you gain that make the difference." That is the meaning-beyond-gain thread in his own words.

> the reflection of this episode is that it’s not the things that you gain that make the difference. (Daniel)
