Thinking out of box - means to think differently, unconventionally, or from a new perspective. This phrase often refers to novel or creative thinking.
Its related to science in a way. Scientific and technological advancement is not always a linear path from point A to B.
Lets start with a little puzzle....
[SIZE=-1]Think of words ending in 'gry'.
Angry and hungry are two of them.
There are only three words in the English language.
What is the third word?
The word is something that everyone uses every day.
If you have read this very carefully,
I have already told you what it is.
You have to think outside not inside c:
Answer: [/SIZE]
So some of you probably got in some secs while some had gotten in minutes.
My question is why?
The process behind thinking outside the box is to abstract one idea to another, This becomes harder and harder the more enforced a concept or belief is.
Therefore you want one foot in and one foot out. One that questions every new belief and one that can abstract that belief with another.
Otherwise we would all be robots without ever creating new idea's because.....why should we sharpen a rock when for thousands of years we've survived without needing to. One foot says were using this rock because its always worked and the other asks what can we do with it.
