As I said <a href="http://mappingcompanysuccess.com/2006/09/boxes-and-creativity/" rel="nofollow">here</a> everyone is in a box, but you can always make the box bigger. Creativity can be cultivated if you believe that. Your box may never be as big as someone else's, but there's nothing to stop you from enlarging it.

I am definitely and unfortunately one of those people that is "stuck in their box". Original ideas do not come easily to me. I greatly admire the people who can come up with those original ideas and better yet translate those ideas into something useful!

I think what happens is that most people look closely at what is described and don't step back and consider alternative descriptions. In this case, we tend to focus on the emotional part instead of looking at the mechanics. I always try to consider first what is obvious, the girl's plight, then step backward and take the situation apart sans emotion. Hi Julie, I’m not sure that I agree with ‘clever’.

And if they do it's because they CHOSE to, not because they were coerced. Hi Fred, you’re right, it’s rare. And if they do it’s because they CHOSE to, not because they were coerced.
