“Think outside the box.”
I find it ironic that we use a cliché from “the box,” to describe ideas that lie outside of our structured systems and traditional ways of thinking.
It’s the new ideas that make a profound change. To us another cliché from “the box” would be: “game changer”.
Push past the limits and begin to imagine past the edges.

So, what are you thinking, right now?

I think thinking outside of the box is great but only after you’ve looked inside the box. if everyone is looking outside, who’s looking inside for the obvious solution?
This is an article based on another one making the case to think inside the box. Now that’s thinking outside of the box! http://bit.ly/gGGbfY

Of course.
If you don’t know what’s in the box, how do you know if you’re thinking outside of it?
a.bird says
Agreed. With all of the emphasis on outside of the box, the contents in the box are often overlooked, & I would even say the whole box is often ignored! 🙂
Eric Dye says
YES!
It certainly works both ways.
We don’t talk about thinking outside the box, so that we ignore it!
We think outside the box, so we can help it along.
