Out
of the
Box
Prasid Mitra | Jadavpur University

2. Have you ever had
to do something
that looked easy?

3. Have you ever had
to do something
but very difficult
to do?

4. It’s
because
you were in your
comfort zone.

5. Solution?

6. Think
outside the
Box

7. What is the
Box?

8. It’s a boundary
within our mind.
Not the itself
MIND

9. It’s a boundary between
what we know..

10. It’s a boundary between
and what we
haven’t thought
about.

11. Why go
Box?
outside the

12. because....
Inside we are
safe and cozy

13. because....
When we go out,
we risk our
reputation

14. because....
Everybody has the
same information
more or less…

15. because....
What matters is
what we make of
it.

16. How do we think
Box?
outside the

17. Go beyond
the convergent
information
-the dominant ideas that strike you first

18. Evaluate
all the divergent
information
-the stuff which sounds irrelevant at first

19. Engage in
long thinking
-take a look at the bigger picture

20. Resist going
back into the box
-maybe, there’s some sense to your idea

21. Evaluate your
idea by itself
-have a keen eye and notice the difference

22. Avoid environments
that punish mistakes
-these are places where you cannot think
out of the box

23. Example
Suppose we wanted
to revolutionize TED
talks
