Thinking Outside the Box is Stupid

Are you tired of hearing it? Think it is overused?

I am. Actually it has become a meaningless statement for many.

Now let's think logically about this. Think outside the box is a term that tends to be associated with new initiatives, change, creativity, innovation, etc. Now imagine you are looking at a box. Now someone tells you to think outside of it. What next.........Don't think about the color blue, don't think about Superman.

The box is still there. How can you think outside of it.

You want new creative ideas....................

Throw the box in the recycle bin (hey we need to start
living green) and start with nothing. New ideas happen by completely removing all remnants of old thinking.
