When life gives you lemon make an awesome lemonade we are often told. But some people just won't settle for that lemonade. Some just go for that extra classy wine :) I just made up a random list of awesome people, in no particular order below.

Most of us get frustrated in that traffic when going to work, not this man.Frantisek Hadrava, a locksmith, from the Czech Republic spent two years and $4000 building his plane to cut off 14 minutes from going to work via road by riding on his plane.
So next time you are stuck in traffic, if you get pissed enough, I suggest you do a Frantisek and get yourself a plane!

William Kamkwamba, a Malawian boy, who couldn't afford his school fees of $80 was kicked out of school. He saw a picture of a windmill in the library and decided to build his own windmill. He was self-taught and used what he read in a book titled Using Energy

He built his first windmill with a tractor fan, an old bicycle frame, tree branches, and produced twelve volts to power four light bulbs and charge mobile phones. His story was so inspirational that a book was written about it called The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind
So, is electricity down your area? Just build yourself a wind turbine :)

For those with children growing faster than the parents can afford to buy them shoes, Kenton Lee is here to the rescue.
You will agree with me that these individuals above are awesome, at least they are trying to fix a problem in their own way.
Got any thing to say about them? Let me know in the comments below :)
