It is so frequent to hear people saying 'think out of the box'. Then you may wonder where those thinkers go after they manage to get out of their boxes. Do they land on something sound and good? or, are they perpetually hopping and groping around?
Then again, if you take that as one of the process (or step) in creative problem solving, shouldn't one, at times, 'see' into the box to be relevant?
Afterall, whether you confine your art making within a little seal stone or running all over a building to paint the walls, you are talking about just different 'containers'. In simple, one may need to 'think in' after 'think out'; 'look in' after look out'. So, seeing into the box please and make sure you are not distracted.

This is an interesting perspective. I would like to believe that I am more resourceful and creative as person than before. And my training sprung from my days with Singapore Airlines. When you are trapped in a 'box' thousands of feet above the ground, and your only solutions are those found within that 'box', that's when creativity sets in. Using all the resources u can manage to lay your hands on, and make the best possible working solution. I believe that made me a more creative and resourceful problem solver than before.
