Author's Notes: "Thinking Out of the Box" presents some poignant notions regarding human nature and the necessity to be flexible for positive change on both a personal and societal level. Change, per se, will always be with us. How we each approach "Change" and implement it in our individual lives will hopefully help us become a bit more flexible in solving problems and in finding and realizing more meaning in each of our respective lives. Imagine our world without any change? How boring and one-sided it would be. Something here to think about. (Gary Bateman - May 2, 2020) (Didactic)
Thinking Out of the Box
Ah, yes! It is! Another one of life’s great challenges!
Thinking Out of the Box should never be taken lightly.
Being human beings, it is well worth remembering
that we are all in this thing we call “Life” together.
Does this mean the challenges that each of us face
are easy? No! Life just doesn’t work that way.
There will always be personal and professional
challenges, and tasks and people to test our mettle.
Thinking Out the Box does require, at times, to go
beyond notions, ideas or concepts that are obsolete.
This is where the proverbial “rub” comes in with
human nature, for people tend to resist new things.
It’s part of human nature for people, at times, to
resist change and become set in their attitudes.
Thinking Out of the Box, in this sense, is not new
at all. It’s part of seeking to improve life’s situations.
Thinking Out of the Box definitely has a personal
and a professional meaning to us in our life’s run.
Otherwise, what kind of a world would we expect to
live in, if all becomes obsolete and there is no change?
