Yes we're here to talk a little about that expression which can answer a lot of tricky questions and solve a lot of complicated problems

and you might be wondering right now why the hell am i writing this topic in English ..... well if you've concentrated enough in the title you might have figured it out (besides... i wanna improve my English :bm:)

for me ... when thinking about this expression i always remember a story for Einstein you may not know

Einstein asked a boy if he wants to play a game the boy said yes

the rules were simple .... Einstein will ask the boy a question and if he couldn't answer the boy will pay 5 dollars

and then the boy will ask Einstein a question about anything he wants but this time if Einstein can't answer he'll pay 500 dollars to the kid

so..

Einstein asked the kid "Why Earth has gravity ?"

the boy put his hand in his pocket and gave him 5 dollars

and then it was the kid's turn to ask so he kept thinking for a period of time and then the kid said

"What is the thing that mounts up with 3 legs and goes down with only one ?"

Einstein was shocked by the question :wacko: and he asked the kid to give him a minute to think

and after half hour Einstein hopelessly gave the boy 500 dollars

but then Einstein was very curious about the answer so he asked the kid about that thing

Do you know what the kid did ?

he gave Einstein 5 dollars :bm:!!!!!!!

I know the story is funny enough to create a whole new thread in the "Farfashah Section"

but let's stop laughing for a second and try to think about what the kid did

Was he really smarter than Einstein ?

the answer may vary from someone to another

for me i think he is the smartest kid i may ever hear about

but for you you may think he was too childish to take the competition seriously :bm:

my point is when you think outside the box things may change to be on your side

I mean the rules were simple enough not to evade someone's mind

but when he thought outside the box and used the issue of the rules he defeated Einstein himself

So as you may figure out right now what does it mean to think outside the box it means thinking in a different way

I'm not saying that thinking INSIDE the box is considered "bad thinking" (In fact thinking inside the box might give you the idea on how to think outside the box)

I'm just saying that things may not be as they look

i also mean that even in the trickiest conditions there is a way out and that way is simple and easy as eating a piece of cake

so now the only thing that's left is how to find the way out

basically thinking in a different way should handle this

for example if the kid kept thinking inside the box he wouldn't find any questions that can lead him to earn 500 dollars in a few minutes


same thing happened when Columbus asked his haters to make an egg stand on it's top

they couldn't understand how to do that simply because this opposed all the gravity laws

but when Columbus explained how to do it they felt stupid and they even have hated him more

the idea was to smash the top of the egg to create a flat part of it and make it stand

so it's all about using issues like when "Fares" gave us this picture and challenged us to connect all the circles with 4 straight lines and without lifting the pen from the paper

it had nothing to do with intelligent thinking it was all about Thinking outside the box and using issues

he said connect the circles with four straight lines and without lifting the pen but he didn't say anything about drawing the line inside the frame

so the method was to make the line goes out of the frame and goes back to it

and by doing this the line will cross all the circles as the rules he gave

so the brief moral of all of these words is to think in a different way and to think of all the possibilities and ways to accomplish your purpose

and if you apply this example on the real life you should find everything getting solved very easily

before you leave this page please give us an example from your life when you had to use the "Outside the box" method to get things done

one last thing
I'm still learning English so please don't throw me with any sharp or metal devices if you found some grammatical mistakes

Peace...
