My favorite was number 6, "What you have matters more than what you lack (If you’ve got a bicycle, consider what you can build based on that, rather than worrying about not having a car, a truck, a metal shop.)" This is because it is incredibly realistic, and beneficial at the same time. If people are constantly working towards improving current things based on what they have to work with, small improvements will happen over time and acc**ulate to a big change. This is something many people fail to realize, and I feel that this is an important path to take in social innovation. The bike is only one example-there are many more, that involve drainage/sanitation systems, or any other utlility that we take for granted.
