Rest - is definitely so impt, even in a relationship. After a long biz trip, getting home and meeting your wife again feels so good.<br /><br />And the air rifle - yeah, when the mind is in the state of zen peace, that's the ultimate feeling. No one can beat you. I fully agree!<br /><br />Thanks for the post!Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292158817395898619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37872616.post-17254503437336920822011-01-10T10:27:06.519+08:002011-01-10T10:27:06.519+08:00Hi LP,

What happens next should be what you said, to grow the box till where we managed to think. Why I say so? By thinking out of the box, it forms a goal, somewhere to work towards, and eventually, your box will "grow" and include that area that was originally outside.JWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04633191740991225888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37872616.post-58354381411885799902011-01-10T08:49:36.690+08:002011-01-10T08:49:36.690+08:00Hi LP
When I was studying literature in JC, my tu...Hi LP<br /><br />When I was studying literature in JC, my tutor introduced me to this concept called the "Renaissance man" that was prevalent during Leonardo Da Vinci's time. <br /><br />Many of us know that Da Vinci's was a genius in many areas of anatomy, engineering, arts etc, the epitome of a "Renaissance man" or someone who is endowed with multiple intelligences and talent, i.e. to have both IQ and EQ, 文 和 武. Thus thinking outside of the box entails being someone who has breadth and depth of knowledge and skills :-)<br /><br />How I interpret "Thinking outside of the box" is to be open to new ideas, approaches and frameworks to existing problems or situations. I count myself fortunate that as an internal auditor I get to practice a little bit of "out of box" thinking each time I review a set of business processes.<br /><br />My team and I need to identify areas where controls can be enhanced, but more importantly, to value-add to help the dept improve its processes in terms of economy, efficiency and effectiveness.<br /><br />I don't always prescribe the most excellent recommendations but I try to push the envelope a little bit at a time and to get my colleagues to think beyond their day-to-day challenges in their own processes :-)<br /><br />Be well and prosper.PanzerGrenadierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15836438378215893219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37872616.post-34678554442243681732011-01-10T07:37:56.133+08:002011-01-10T07:37:56.133+08:00Ya, some babies are made by accident too.Ya, some babies are made by accident too.CreateWealth8888https://www.blogger.com/profile/04870750974362417154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37872616.post-36256665457916963722011-01-09T21:48:28.451+08:002011-01-09T21:48:28.451+08:00Hi bro8888,

I think the idea is to keep your mind open to possibilities :)<br /><br />Hi SMOL,<br /><br />I think it's hard not to have a box. We all have our preconceptions and assumptions and stereotypes - the cultural baggage that we bring along with us wherever we go. Someone with no box to begin with would be a child.
