Think Out of the Box?

So far, you must have at least heard of someone telling you to 'think out of the box'! I do agree that we need to find new ways of doing things better or in a unique way. Thinking out of the box indeed is a good way to achieve that. However, you can do so provided you have something in your box; or perhaps filled your own box first.

What is the point if you do not even have anything in the box, or couldn't think within a box to look at things from the fundamentals or basics. You can think big, do different things and look for your 'blue ocean'; but what are the foundations to get you started? Do you have a map or a compass before you sail out to look for the blue ocean? and of course, you need to know how to swim first before you go to explore the blue ocean...

Hence, if you cannot even work within the box and do simple things...going out of the box might be disasters....

Hello Pak Cik, can't you see where is the box for you to park your 'big' car???
