Think Inside the Box for a change

Dear Readers,

You need to think outside the box?  This is the most common statement which you keep on hearing from your boss, friends, teachers, or any one you know. Many people will keep on telling you to start thinking outside the box. My question is, “Do you really need to think outside the box???

Thinking outside the box is not bad however before you can reach that transitional stage, it might be worth your time to make sure that you have done all you could do within the box first. The BOX may represent different things for different people,                however in general it can represent experience, background, culture, environment, people that have helped us to shape the way we think. This is a matrix in which we see the world.  Sometimes the box can help us to excel, achieve what we want and sometimes it can hinder us. However without any doubt many of us are actually not using the box to its full potential.

All the thinking begins first inside the box. It is from the inside of the box that we often seek to expand our thoughts to go out from the box, that we often imagine that things outside the box are so much more rich, powerful and comprehensive.

But regardless of who or what you've heard from about thinking outside the box, everything starts from within. Sometimes we don't even need for our thoughts to go out of the box, though it may be beneficial. It is first important that you understand the thoughts contained within the box, and it might be such that improving what is already inside the box is all you need.

So, the next time someone tell you to think outside the box, take a deep breath and take a moment to think about it.

Regards,
