Step 2 - get out of the box

Teoria cutiei 

Traim intre patru pereti, intr-o cutie (casa, bloc), mergem spre cutiile noastre (birouri) in alte cutii (masina, taxi, autobuz etc). Facem cumparaturi din cutii, ne distram in cutii, mancam din cutii. Suntem inconjurati de cutii, iata ca vine cineva si ne spune "Why don`t you think outside the box?" Okay... and how are we gonna do that?

Sa vedem. Step 1 - make a hole in the box. L-am facut. Step 2 - get out of the box. Sa ne gandim putin la procesul de metamorfozare al fluturilor. Crisalida -> cocon -> fluture. Buun! Acum suntem in cutie, in cocon. Now what? It`s time for a change. It`s time we changed perspective, it`s time we changed the pattern. It`s time we escaped routine! Let`s act today, as we were other people. Our new, improved versions with all the expansion packs installed. Let`s live an experimental life for one day. Let`s embrace the unknown! Wanna go to the sea-side, to the country side, to the middle of nowhere? You have a job. So what? Take a day-off. Money? Travel for free, go by foot, by bike, hitch-hike, go with the air-courrier, use couchsurfing (one of the greatest ideas ever) etc. Do this for one day! Do whatever strikes your mind! Be free of obligations, responsabilities and other words that take your smile away. Turn off your phone, laptop, Tv and other devices which might stand in your way out of the box. Do what you wouldn`t have done normally. Those things that made you want to go back in the past where you wouldn`t take a second thought and just did it. (many thanks to Sorin)

Take a day off and get outside the box!
