few minds wear out, more rust out. Make yours completely wear out!

1. What is thinking outside the box?
It is the art of thinking creatively.
Creativity has no limits and
so does thinking out of the box.

2. Creativity is intelligence having fun.
Do not confuse with
brilliant/fast/deep thinking, creative
thinking is LONG thinking.

3. Why? What is the
need?
We as human beings are constantly evolving, to do so, to maintain our
dignity creative thinking is necessary.
We live inside a box, to think what we haven't
Thought of, long thinking is required.
Hence it is NECESSITY not a luxury!

4. Which is the box we are talking
about?
Obviously we cannot think out of our
mind.
So,
It is an imaginary boundary within our
mind.
Our education, experiences, society,
environment, family builds this boundary.

5. How to accomplish such a difficult task?
Thinking out of the box
requires the merger of
convergent
information(which we
already know), the relevant
information
And applying the divergent
multiplier we can have
access to information which
is not directly relevant.

6. After the collection of
data, organisation is
necessary to initiate the
thinking process.
Best way to tackle a
problem is to divide it
into parts and organise
them according to our
needs.

7. Finally initiate the process of
IDEATION.

9. Where to go outside the
box?
Actually there is no correct
answer to this question. The
place outside the boundary is
scary as it has never been
accessed before and we are
forced to go back inside, which
is the wrong approach.
Apply the gathered data on
areas never accessed before
and let the magic begin.

10. Suppose we land a new idea, how to assess it’s
worth?
The most important part is to accept yourself as an inventor and feel entitled to it.
Then assessment comes into play:
• Look for a match b/w the new idea and the initial driving element.
• Evaluate the idea per se.
• Serendipity happens all the time, try to be open minded.
Either of these will give a rough estimate of the worth of your brainchild.

11. When is a good time to think out of the box?
We as social animals are expected of a normal behaviour and so we
cannot always think outside the boundary.
If an environment punishes mistakes creativity is discouraged and
monotony is encouraged.
Surround yourself with like
minded people.

13. Important TIP
Be a creative
thinker, a problem
solver, an
innovator and
hence a better
human being!
