Inside the Box

When trying to solve a problem, the personal development gurus will suggest that we get creative and think, “Outside the Box”.

I'm fine with this, I think it's a great idea, but the thing that they don't tell you is that you should take a peek “in” the box first, nine times out of ten thats where the answer is.

Thats where you left your keys...

Please do consider writing a book about this brilliant truth Peter!

I had a module on creativity as part of my entrepreneurship degree and I always used to tell them that thinking out the box alludes to these ideas of absolute brilliance when in fact it is actually the most simple ideas that really work!
