Generally when there is a challenge; be it in a work place, schools, family or even in a place of worship, there seems to be a particular laid-out pattern, route or procedure that is usually followed to resolve that issue.

outside the box

Although it is true that some of this laid-out framework or pattern of problem-solving has worked but it does not mean that you cannot think of another process. Even though this new process may be different and unusual, it may yield smarter and better results.


It is good to think outside the box. It takes the limits off of your thought pattern and brings out the creativity in you. It makes you think from a different perspective.  Also, you never know what you can discover when you think differently. Innovative ideas only come when you think outside the box, for instance, Facebook and many others. 


It pays to think outside the box. Task your brain today, you might be the next greatest inventor of all times.
