Any suggestions for me

I am putting together a video made up of clips for a client project I am working on... Its about 'Opening Your Mind'...
and about doing things differently.

SO my question to you all is...
Who would you say is inspiring... of who has done something amazing (through thinking differently)
Some ideas to get you going.. I am thinking along the lines of...
Steve Jobs - at Apple.. for inventing the iPod, iPod etc
Mandela
Dick Fosbery (for doing the high jump differently and succeeding)
Mother Theresa
Einstein
Mohammed Ali

Anyone who invented or discovered medical things, and changed our health - William Harvey, for one, for discovering how blood circulates.

Ah you've moved to events - the things which change us are either (IMO) excellent or hideous, something like Hillsborough, or the maiden flight of Concorde.

[Nosha123]

box tops.. Good one.. Concorde!!!!
Like it!
