Thinking Outside the Box:

The idea of game-changing innovation came to me while I was watching a Rajinikanth movie: 

In the climax, the villain  kidnaps the heroine in a Mercedes-Benz. Top speed 220 KMPH The police give chase in Indian  Police Jeep 1970 model !!!…Top Speed unknown…not for security reasons... :-) 

just because ..speed gun has lower threshold limit to measure : 7 KMPH…  

Meanwhile, Rajinikanth enters here in this scene…rather I should say makes an entry!!! …..comes airborne from somewhere nowhere… 

Fans in theater go berserk…coconuts are broken….Milk sachets are out….

An Encore…is being asked for….

Now Rajnikanth is onto his business….jumps on to this vehicle…that does not need any fossil fuel to run…can go through even narrow alleys and ramp up on the mountain… does not even maintenance …

Yes! Rajnikanth is on the saddle in horse. It is a good move because the horse can maneuver its way through narrow alleys and even climb a mountain, which the Mercedes (and the police van) cannot do. It’s only a matter of time before Rajinikanth overtakes the car and rescues the heroine. 

That is thinking out of the box.

How to live on 24 hours a day

Arnold Bennett was a prolific author in the early 20th Century. I read his book "How to live on 24 hours a day" He explains his process in his book : that resulted him in being a prolific author: following are the learning: even in the busiest week, find 7-1/2 hours of time beyond the work ; Focus those 7-1/2 hours on thinking Time practice honest self-reflection using the below questions: what do want for yourself? what motivates you? what scares you? what embarrasses you? What are you proud of? What beliefs do you have that might be wrong? Are you caring for yourself or harsh with yourself? Authors Arnold Bennett

Philosophy - read your favorite Author - everyday! 3. Kindness - random act of giving  4. Business -  What is the purpose of business? 5.
