I like the one on how to live for a week on $2.

Comment by Nichola the Keen Master on February 6, 2013 at 10:46pm

My favorite was "Try living on 2$ a day" because I think that would be a challenge for most of us. It makes me think of how lucky I am. LEARN1

It is trow no one can change the world alone.

If you want to make something 10 times cheaper, remove 90 percent of the material.

Try living for a week on $2 a day.
That’s what my students and I do when I teach my class about international development. It helps them begin to understand the trade-offs that must be made when you have only very limited resources. More broadly, it was in the Peace Corps in Botswana that I learned to carry water on my head, and noticed how heavy the bucket was; and I learned to pound sorghum in to flour and felt the ache in my back. As a designer, I came to understand the importance of technologies that can transport water or grind grain.

I think this is an important secret because, if you know that you don't have much you don't use it just because, you WANT to spend it. Most people would only buy most of their clothes just because, they saw it on display and if they could afford it they would most definitely purchase because, it was affordable. When you don't have much money you save it for the things you need like food, water, shelter, and clothing. If you use your already scarce supply of resources you won't have anything left to supply things for your needs.

I think this is important because it can teach you to make your resources last. If you use all your resorces (which are scarce) at once, then you won't have any left.

I think the most important secret is to embrace market mechanisms. It is important for anyone in this world to be able to do this. This is because people need to make a way of living and can't just give stuff away. They need to sell goods and services in order to be able to make money to support themselves.

I think the best one to focus on is what you have more than what you lack due to it showing what you can build with what you have. It also would allow better trade.

Comment by Robert Breeser on November 29, 2012 at 11:52pm

I think the most important one is focus on what you have rather than what you lack because it would be more expensive to ship things in than use what you have

i think the most important one is don't fight culture. i think that because if you don't let people be their own self then it is just going to start a big problem and maybe even another world war. plus it is not right to not let people be their own selves because people are humans for a reason. people way back made something up called human rights for a reason.

I think #4 is the best because innovation leads to everything including jobs, money, technology, and more.

My favorite secret was "Think like a child" because children are more creative than elder people are. Their minds go beyond adults' way of thinking, therefore creating many ideas. The more ideas, the better! Another way i think of it is that children "eat in knowledge" and make wonderful ways to express creativity. To children, there is no such thing as a limit. And I think that's really cool. LEARN1

My favorite secret was "Think Like A Child" because you never know what children can come up with. The ideas are endless. Even if the child does not know everything they can use what they already know to come up with an idea that is great! Children take in knowledge and express what they learned in amazing ways! LEARN1

My favorite secret was to talk to the people about the problems and listen to them. the reason is that if you pretend you went through that hardship you will never feel what they feel. Talking to people and listening to them will give an idea how they felt. When we feel and know the problems better, we are one step closer to fixing the problem. LEARN1

My favorite secret was "Think like a child" because children has lots of creativity. A more mature person would have more knowlegde, so he/she would think some tasks are impossible. Children are never negative. That's why they learn to crawl, walk, talk, and do other things they couldn't do when they were a newborn. Also, kids love to explore and challenge theirselves. I feel that kids are better at changing the world than adults.

My favorite secret about the social innovation was "what we have matters more than what you lack." This is my favorite because most people would look at their materials and if they needed something done, then they would sit there wishing that they had that certain thing. Instead, you can look at what you do have and start improvising on what you could make.LEARN1
