I’ve
often used the cliché “think outside the box” and it is usually used to refer
to lateral thinking, not thinking of obvious obstacles but rather, thinking
beyond them.
It’s
a good thing…really. Thinking differently, unconventionally , from a different
perspective; yeah so on point.
So,
in the spirit of “thinking outside the box”, as a medical student, I’d like to
ask about the box being referred to- the brain box i.e. the skull, which
contains the brain?
Ok,
if that is the box being referred to, I’d beg to differ, because there’s no way
on earth you can think, outside the box (brain box). It really makes no sense,
as one’s faculty for thinking is the cerebral hemisphere- specifically the
frontal lobe.
Basically,
this post is argumentatively comical, as this was not the origin of that
phrase.
Particularly,
I’d love to wish you a week of lateral thinking…of creatively creating new
things.
Think
outside the box, but not outside your brain box!
