I wholeheartedly agree with these inspiring examples. Each is, in its own right, a wonderful example of what I call "pure innovation" -- that which we apply to our personal lives, and to society around us. "Thinking outside the box" isn't necessarily anything more than thinking ... differently than "conventional wisdom" (and an unlimited collection of related presumptive, perhaps subconscious, beliefs and values) tends to influence us all to do by default. Kudos to those who both realize they can, and then actually do, practice this very concept in their own self image. Such "pure innovation" can unquestionably develop self-esteem...in this very way. Thank you for your observation, and post!
