T.O.B. (T.O.B.)

A couple of days back I was having a discussion with my lovely wife about the concept of thinking outside the box. I was suggesting that rather than thinking outside the box why not we make the box bigger. Of course she being more smarter and wiser than me counter proposed that there is no such thing as boxes in the first place.

And I would say that this is one of the most important revelations for me this year. That there is no such thing as boxes. The reason why, we always say think outside the box is because we unconsciously put a limit on our mental capability. And unfortunately such sayings only reinforce the idea into our very psyche.

Our mind is capable of unlimited potential. The limit of it can be liken to that of the horizon, that it'll continue to move as we move towards it. And even that limit is still possible to be expanded upon. How? By having more inputs, be more aware, learn more new things, express more of yourselves, experiences different culture and so on. Such pursuit of knowledge is like stepping on a ladder or better yet, like flying. The more you know, the higher you go. The higher you go the further the horizon will be. And that is the truth of things.
