Many of us have heard of this cliche "thinking outside of the box". It has become the hallmark of those that want to give the impression that they are creative thinkers savvy at coming up with solutions to problems that no one has thought of before.
In reality do those who want solutions to problems really want someone to think "outside" of the box? Isn't what we are really looking for is someone who can take the resources and infrastructure we already have and make something of it? In other words, isn't it more ingenious to have to think "inside the box"?
Take for instance origami, the art of taking a square piece of paper of any size and without cutting, adding, or modifying the essential structure of the piece of paper, just by folding, a person can create something so different and unusual that it almost seems that they can breathe life into a simple, basic ordinary piece of paper.
