Learning from Africa: Innovation comes from constraint
Quote from "
Innovation in Africa tips":
"Innovation (often) comes from constraint (If you’ve got very few resources, you’re forced to be very creative in using and reusing them.)"
I liked this quote best and there is also an actionable thing I could do to start experiencing a hard constraint.
"Try living for a week on $2 a day."
I will give it a try, so expect me to be very cheap this week. ;)
2 USD translates to 1.5 EUR so this will be my goal. The first implication I can think of now is that I will have to go to work by bike as a train ticket is 1.7 EUR. Luckyly the train ticket back to Mannheim is already paid for (as I really can't walk 600km or whatever it is from Bremen). I have to admit that that's a little bit cheating.
Also, I am not sure about the costs of my electricity and water consumption ... well, I will have to think about that. Experiment starting now!
