How to think out of the box?

People with the potential for success are often able to think outside the box, against the common scheme, in the "strange" word on the work, with surprising tricks. The result is that the person who is not a member of the organization is not a member of the organization, but a member of the organization.

Henry Rand liked to take pictures of his daughter on weekdays, and every time she wanted to see her father take pictures of her immediately. So once he told his daughter that the photos must be all taken, and when the negative is rolled back and taken down from the camera, it is then sent to the darkroom to be developed with a special drug. Moreover, after the negative is finished, it has to be irradiated with a strong light so that it is reflected on top of other papers, and it has to be processed with medicines again before a photo can be completed. While explaining this to his daughter, he inwardly asked himself, "Isn't it possible to make a camera that develops images at the same time?" Anyone with a modicum of common sense about photography who heard his thoughts said in unison, "It's not possible." And they cited a dozen or more reasons why, "It's a fanciful dream." But he was not deterred by this blow. At last, he completed the "Polaroid Camera" against all odds. The camera functioned exactly as his daughter had hoped. From that moment on, Rand Enterprises was born.

After the Polaroid camera went into production, how was the new camera to be publicized and marketed? After careful consideration, RAND invited a prestigious sales expert from the United States, Holla Butz. Once Butz saw the "Polaroid", he was impressed. He was glad to be appointed as the manager in charge of marketing.

The Miami waterfront is a popular tourist destination in the United States, with thousands of vacationers coming here every year. The shrewd Butz thought it would be an ideal place to sell. He specifically hired a number of swimming skills, beautiful lines of the beautiful girls, let them swim in the beach bath pretending to accidentally fall into the water, and then by the specially arranged lifeguards will be rescued, the thrilling scene attracted many onlookers. At this time, the "Polaroid" camera immediately show their skills, in the blink of an eye, a record of the wonderful scene of the snaps shown in front of the people, so that tourists are surprised, salesmen will take the opportunity to sell this camera. In this way, "Polaroid" camera quickly from Miami to the country, became a popular market commodity, best-selling. The company's reputation grew as a result.

For a successful person, it is necessary to take the initiative by constantly inventing, improving technology and developing new products, i.e., to think what others have not thought and do what others have not done.

Modern society is highly competitive, it seems to be able to think of competitive tricks have been out of all, however, there are still people who have the bright idea, new tricks continue to appear.

A lady in the United States called Miman found that the stockings she wore were always falling down, and if she was strolling in the park or going to work at the company, it was so embarrassing for her stockings to fall down that it was ungainly even if she pulled them secretly. She also thought that other women must have encountered this kind of trouble, so she had the bright idea to open a ratchet store, specializing in selling socks that do not easily slip off. The sock store is small enough that each customer can complete a cash transaction in less than a minute and a half on average. Miman now has more than 120 sock stores in the U.S., U.K. and France.

There are millions of women whose socks fall down, but only a handful of people who are inspired to open a sock store to solve this little embarrassment. It's clear that being a mindful person in life can be very rewarding.

Inspiration can make people create new ideas and inventions.

More than 200 years ago, a French doctor, Dr. La Reinecke, had been hoping to create a device to check whether a patient's chest was healthy. One day, he accompanied his daughter to the park to play teeter-totter, accidentally found that, with a hand on one end of the teeter-totter lightly knocked, at the other end of the ear, listening to the race to clearly hear the knocking sound. The doctor was inspired, went home with wood to make a horn-like earpiece, the big end of the patient's chest, the small end of the ear in their own ears, can actually clearly hear the patient's chest sounds. This is the world's first stethoscope.

These creative people were undoubtedly smart, but not geniuses. They were faced with revelations that others could have encountered, except that their minds were sparked with inspiration while others were still at a loss. This is all because they are sensitive, associative, attentive to their surroundings, and thoughtful.

Creative imagination is the direct bridge between the infinite mind of man and the infinite intelligence of the universe. All the so-called revelations in religion and all the fundamental laws, new principles, and new pharbe0s in the field of invention have been discovered only with the help of creative imagination.

Ideas flash into one's mind in what is called a "flash of insight". And these "ideas" come from the following sources.

(1) Infinite wisdom.

(2) The subconscious mind, which stores every sensory impression, and which hoards the impulses of thought sent to the brain through any of the five senses.

(3) The idea or image released from the heart by conscious thought.

(4) Inspiration drawn from the subconscious treasury of another.

There is no other known source from which an "inspired" or "inspired" thought or idea can emanate.

Brain activity, when stimulated, can elevate an individual to a very high level above his usual level of thinking, enabling him to see the whole picture with a breadth of mind, poise, and insight that he does not normally have when he is working on routine and business problems at work.

When a man is subjected to any form of cerebral stimulation, he is in the state of boarding an airplane and can see things that are normally invisible to the horizon of his limited vision. He will be in a realm of thought that is set aside from the mundane thoughts of everyday life, just as a person who climbs a mountain and looks out over a distance sees what is there after removing the limitations of visual substance such as hills, pits, and valleys.

When at this heightened level of thought, the mind's creativity is given freedom of action. The roadblocks to the functioning of the sixth sense are removed. Ideas that would be out of reach in any other situation become easily sensed and received. The "sixth sense" is the very standard of ability that separates the genius from the mortal.

The more often creativity is utilized, the more creativity is sensitive and receptive to originality beyond the subconscious; and the more often creativity is utilized, the more creativity is relied upon.

Artists, writers, musicians, and poets are great because they have cultivated a habit of using the power of creative imagination to hear the "steady whispering of the heart" from within. Anyone with a "keen" imagination knows the fact that the best ideas come from a "flash of insight".
