See! This is how a person can have 4 papers in two years. Although I admit it still needs hard work and bright mind to catch whatever can be caught in the research project and to exhibit them accordingly.

Soul maTe

"People think a soul mate is a perect fit, and that's what every one wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you every thing that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake..but to live with a soul mate? Nah. Too painful. soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of
yourself to you, and then they leave. And thank God for it.."

How to get out of the box: tips

Here are some tips to get out of the box! 

I just sorted those which were more applicable for myself

Taken from Toilet paper entrepreneur 

How To Get Out Of The Box: As an entrepreneur we tend to live and breath our enterprises 24x7. And often times, stewing in our own ideas hinders our ability to see other perspectives or think outside the box. Take some time each day (30 minutes to an hour) doing something that is not work related. Go for a run, have drinks with non-business friends, play with your kids, try out a new recipe... Experiencing a new and different activity will help expand your perspective and cleanse your mind.

How To Get Out Of The Box: If you're stuck...

Pick up a book, take a class, listen to a CD, but learn something new. Doesn't matter what it is, or whether it's connected to your field. Look for the unexpected connections.

Experiment and make mistakes. Explore. Try something unexpected.

Take breaks. Stop and reflect on what you're doing. The eureka moment comes when least expected.

Be patient. Getting out of the box takes time! 

Schedule Time To Think Outside The Box

How To Get Out Of The Box: I schedule a certain amount of time each week for my creative thinking to think outside the box. If you don't have a time scheduled to dedicate to this, your business will have trouble succeeding. 

Jump Start Your Creativity

How To Get Out Of The Box: f you find yourself stuck in your businesses jump start your creativity by:

1.Use meditation, yoga, self hypnosis or some other modality to tap into your creative mind.
2.Do the opposite of what you have been doing.
3.Open yourself to the input of others.
4.Brainstorm on new ways to create value for
your market.
5.Be willing to get out of your own way. 

Connect. Collaborate. Capitalize.

How To Get Out Of The Box: Thinking outside the box is more about stepping back and reframing from your current position and thought patterns. Think what could be and suspend all doubt. Lead with "What if"... Then assemble a team of respected colleagues - include professionals from outside of your industry - and pose the question or challenge and brainstorm for answers. Note: when brainstorming, suspend all judgement and allow free thinking; be sure to have someone designated as facilitator. Narrow to short list and well...take a short walk or a shower... let your subconsconscious do some of the heavy lifting for a while. Just when you're not thinking about, the creative , nearly perfect, outside the box idea will surface.

Lucky me :)

I admire him. I can see he really acts according to his beliefs..here are his favorite quotes

(a) Logic is boring, always see other illogical ideas (get out of the box).
(b) When you buy a pencil, accept both ends (accept people, they have both sides, the beauty and the beast). Imagine if only accept one end!
(c) We are so lucky there are a lot of negative people out there. Our job is to help them be more positive and more human. We have things to do now. We are lucky.

Road Less Traveled

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

M. Scott Peck-1978
