Rethink the box; why just think outside it?

"Think outside the box" is a well worn bromide.

Sometimes, people say such things, but expect an answer that is well within the box.

Maybe, you could reimagine the box- a round box instead of a square box. Maybe a yellow striped box instead of a plain box.

Why not a steel box instead of a wooden box?

Maybe, you could turn the box sideways, or upside down.

Tried thinking of a different corner of the same box?

What if the box starts spinning? What if it starts dancing?

Why should the box be a box? Can’t it be a tin? Can’t it be a bottle? Can’t it be a bag?

Want to try swapping boxes?

Maybe, don’t think of the box at all- why be constrained by any box?
