Every now and again I hear of someone who is not limited by social norms. They take liberties with the law, not out of greed, but out of inspired action. These men break down social barriers to inspire the world and deliver a message that they believe in, usually in an extraordinary way. Here is such an example:
Alain Robert: Urban Free Climber and Skyscraper Mountaineer
"The man later confirmed, moments after being arrested on the roof of the tower, that he was Alain Robert, a 46-year-old stuntman famous for scaling structures like the National Bank of Abu Dhabi, the Sydney Opera House in Australia and the Eiffel Tower and Montparnasse Tower in Paris. He wore a T-shirt with his name and the address of a Web site (thesolutionissimple.org), exercise pants and climbing shoes. He had long blond hair. He used no rope, harness or parachute."
--The NY Times
What an awesome way to inspire change in the world.
