Even though this talk does not mention Bitcoin at all I still feel like it's message is immensely relevant to this community and that's why I decided to share this video.

Watch it share it and learn from it!

(After a bit of time I'll move this to off topic)

From the video description:

Quote
When most well-intentioned aid workers hear of a problem they think they can fix, they go to work. This, Ernesto Sirolli suggests, is naïve. In this funny and impassioned talk, he proposes that the first step is to listen to the people you're trying to help, and tap into their own entrepreneurial spirit. His advice on what works will help any entrepreneur.
