Can you think of a place to hold a conference talk for a thousand of people as an audience.

Its too difficult.Doesn’t makes

any sense.How to fill the

stadium?

Think of having it during

Half time of a football match

Let’s dig more for information with

How to get out of-the-box and generate ideas

A Tedx Talk by

Giovanni Corazza

Don’t be mainstream, take risks

Be Different

KNOW how to get out-of-the box.

Develop your mind for Creative thinking

WHY

We all share the same pool of information. What is the difference between ourselves? Where does our dignities as human beings lie?

Answer: Well, it really depends upon how we think, what we interpret and what we generate with that common shared information.

Thinking Creatively out-of-the box is not a luxury.

It is a NECESSITY.

WHICH Box?

It is the boundary in our mind between what we know and what we haven’t still thought about.

The box we live in is created of :

OUR Teachings OUR Success OUR FailuresOUR Experiences

Which makes up , in most parts who we are.

And whatever is outside of this BOX is invisible to us.

That is why we feel too risky to go out.

How to think out of the box

We have developed specifications for things. We know how the things are because that’s the way they have always been.This is Known as Convergent Information

To go out-of-the box

Need Something more that goes beyond the convergent informationTo cross the borders within our minds between what we know and what we do not know yet.This is Known as Divergent Information

WHERE

Out of the box, takes us to a place where we don’t know where to go now. It is because we have no preset

direction when we are out-of-the box.

Most of the people resist in taking a forward step. They stumble and move backward.

And they go back inside the box !

Resist the temptation to go back.

Value Long Thinking instead of

Fast Thinking

What hinders us ?

We don’t feel entitled to be inventors

If it is correct somebody else must have done it before me.

These are all natural mechanism with which we kill our own ideas.

We have to RESIST it.

WHEN

We know that bringing new ideas will challenge our existing

environment.

So, when it is a good idea to think out of the box ?

Answer is

You Need to allow the existence of divergent thinking and mix and match the divergent and

convergent disciplines effectively to generate the creative ideas.

ALWAYS REMEMBER
