It is a necessity for us and our dignities as

HUMAN BEINGS.

How do we thinkOut of the Box?

But….

What exactly is the box?

Is it a box likethis ?

It is a boundary between what we

know and what we havn’t thought about.

We have a lot of ideas, the dominant ones,

which is our CONVERGENT information

To go out of the BOX…..

You need to add something more,something which goes beyond the comfort zone, something absurd.

Something which takes us

This is the DIVERGENT information.

We can use associationof ideas, be open mindedand look for alternative

solutions.
