Thinking out of the box is simply thinking or doing something new, or thinking and doing something old in the new way. According to Albert Einstein, “The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination”. By literally thinking out of the box, and being creative, new ideas, and innovations can be created. “There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all. Without creativity, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns” - Edward de Bono, author of The Use of Lateral Thinking and Six Thinking Hats.

Inflation Rate in Camarines Sur, December 2017-December 2018
