A really important part of the reading and what Ashoka as an organization does is how difficult it is to recieve a grant from them. Not every idea works, and not every individual is able to see an idea through. Ashoka's requirements to get this money is based on so many tests that ensures that the person is really ready to change the world. I think that if society was a little more selective with its organizations, it would be a lot more effective in getting help to those who really need it, instead of getting bogged down by the overwhelming work that is necessary to solve a social problem
