People always get amazed when
they see something they have never seen before, something which is truly new
and fresh. Such an idea, product or act compels us to admire the person behind
it. And we often end up asking how they even think about such a thing, how can
they; how to think out of the box when the bloody box is so big? I agree, the box
is big, and as always we are used to it, comfortable in it, so how do we start
if we need to generate an out-of-the-box idea.
That’s where the girlfriend comes in; no, I am not asking you to find a girlfriend. (By the way, if you seriously don’t have one, stop reading and just go and get one first, dude). So it is crazy to even think that girlfriends can have any relation with such an issue. Well there is, and I am going to tell you how in the following few steps that are quick and easy, I assure you.
The Break-Up – We all know what happens when the rate and quantity
of a girlfriend’s complaints cross all limits, yes the break up. So who am I to
change the law of nature? It is actually time for a break up. Once you have
done all the complaining part, break up with the box in which/with which you
were so comfortable, and you have enough reasons (complaints) to do so as well.
Stop thinking of the box, ignore it (as our elders said Ignorance is Bliss),
trust me it is bliss, just do it. Give yourself some time to ignore the box,
just as it takes time to come out of a break up. Once you have mastered
ignoring the box, comes the third and last step.
Find a New One – After break ups, I don’t think girls remain single
for long, there is always someone better than the previous one. That’s what you
have to do, look for the new box, take all the complaints which you kept
bombarding the older box with, keep thinking and keep looking, the new box is
not that far. It has always been there, you just needed to go through the
journey before you actually noticed it. I will not say that this step is easy,
and if you noticed I never asked you to think what kind of box you need, no
that would be a mistake. I never asked you to do this because I wanted your
brain to think, not search. Thinking is important, way more important than
searching for an answer. Let your brain take its time, and trust me you will
come up with that out-of-the-box idea you were looking for.
This is how the brain works in
the last step - it takes all your previous experiences, all of it, irrespective
of whether it is related to the issue at hand or not, then it takes all the
complaints for which you left the old box and kept looking for an answer, like
a mathematical iteration it slowly does everything, and the end result is
exactly what you wanted, an out-of-the-box idea. So now you know what to do
when the need arises, just be a complaining girlfriend forever. Good Luck!
