People say think outside the box?

[BLP11520]

What do you think they mean?

Great question.

There was a young bull and an old bull on top of the hill. They were looking down on a herd of sexy cows.

Young bull: Hey, let's run down the hill and each fuck a cow! Old bull: Son, why don't we just WALK down the hill and fuck 'em all?

The young bull was thinking inside the box.

The old bull was thinking outside the box.

Thinking outside the box just means you shouldn't have tunnel vision. You need to take a step back and see the entire picture.

The motivational speaker: Tony Robbins, tells you to always look for the positive, while in a negative situation.
I know that sounds stupid. But if you start to train yourself to think that way, you'll see that he's right.

When a shit-storm comes your way, you NEVER look for anything positive, because you are overwhelmed by the negative.

When life throws you lemons, you make lemonade.

It means that the perspective of thinking must be different from the perspective that you are framed with. It means that the knowledge you posess might not be enough for the solution and you need widen the range or approaches on how to solve the task. Or it can mean that the usual logic might not be applicable to solve the task and you need to apply a totally different approach.

I always took it to mean “think of every unconventional thing possible” so I’d start thinking about ludricous solutions before coming to something we could actually use

[Jkgordon]

Don’t be 3rd dimensional look at all alternatives esp the one that suits you

The box is the mainline, the path well travelled.

Thinking outside the box means to try a new approach or perhaps even to revisit old ideas, like using airships filled with hydrogen again.

[YesterdaysChild]

It means don't think solely of a vagina. There are other parts of the body too.

Most people live in their own little bubble. This is telling you to step out from it.

Yes so many
