We are taught to consume. And that's what we do. But if we realized that there really is no reason to consume, that it's just a mind set, that it's just an addiction, then we wouldn't be out there stepping on people's hands climbing the corporate ladder of success.

This quote suggests that many people are focused on consuming material products and are driven by the idea that achieving success requires them to be competitive and ambitious. However, if people could realize that the need to acquire more is based on a learned behavior, rather than something that is actually necessary, they would not be so focused on climbing the corporate ladder in order to achieve success.
