Let’s think out of the box

What does that mean exactly? Yes, all it says “Think broader, and think different”. World expands every time when someone think out of the box. If someone remains inside the box forever, his vision shrivels. Many people in this world who potentially changed this world are out of box thinkers.

Our society is built with some basic rules, the usual happening here was that, if someone intercepts these boundaries will be penalized, or the society is going to stare at them very strangely. This happens often, it continues as long as the people’s mind remains within the box. Now I’d like to emphasis on the quote,

"A reasonable man adapts himself to his environment. An unreasonable man persists in attempting to adapt his environment to suit himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man."

-- George Bernard Shaw

That was a wonderful quote from George Bernard Shaw. It holds the same thing. An unreasonable man makes all the progresses, so he belongs to the “Out of Box” thinker category. He is the one who less stick on the present rules. He is the one who pushes the borders and re-establish the new ones. There are some many public figures in this society for unreasonable men or out of box thinkers. The prime category includes scientists, technology inventors, or whoever trying to push the limits. A new invention means an outcome of an Out of Box thinker’s efforts.

In our educational system, people are trained to obey conventional rules. Many people hate to make mistakes. A few are trained to make experiments. Many of them not bothered to expand the borders of the society that they live in. Life is simply a routine for almost all the people.

Almost all of our scientists in our history had faced bitter experiences for out of box thinking. An out of box thinker often face criticisms and ridiculous responses if people can’t properly value what exactly he is trying to express. He remains as a fool until he establishes himself with the outcomes of his innovative thoughts.

The first motto of an innovator or inventor must be “Break the rules!” and “Think out of the box”, strongly holding the fact that it will not harm others.
