Haymitch’s last advice is to start running at the sound of the gong, to ignore the Cornucopia and put as much distance as possible between themselves and the other tributes, and to find water.
What the excerpt is trying to convey is that, with the current generation we are so preoccupied with own self-interests. We value vanity, self and glory without considering the individuals we face as we walk, as we talk and as we engage. The passage reinstates that individuals have to get back and introspect about not their own gratifications and egotistical desires but the welfare with others, even though it is innate and inevitable that we always point to the ego.
