    Hey guys, I'm looking for some fresh ideas... I'm looking for examples of people who have made a choice to take "the road less taken"..

    For example:

    Gandhi - non violence
    Mandela - resisting aparteid

    but I'm looking for some more modern and less important examples like:

    Joakim Noah - chose to play another year in florida when he could have easily turned pro.


    its for a project I'm working on... any other ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    Mohammed Ali - chose not to go to vietnam and fight a politicians war

    The danger is that he would be seen as a coward.

    The Burning Monk - flamed himself in public - the danger is that he would be seen as a coward for committing suicide - but I have never seen such an act of courage as this.

    I like this topic so I will try and think of some more
