There is no point in shouting out loud “think out of the box” but yet we can’t even know or define what is our box. We talk so many lines yet not making any point and as the result we are in the bad shape of forming meaning. (Dot, line, form and shape ha! ha!)
What is your box?
Your education background, culture, cognitive, TV, computer, hobbies and people you believe including yourself.

Even sitting in my reading room now, I am in the box, I need to lead my thought beyond my laptop and room for more holistic thinking during this blog writing.
As current problem solving trends moving towards scientific approach where data finding is the key DNA for all solution methodologies. We tend to be overwhelmed with this illusionary fatal lies in solving uncertainty by using data and research.
Thinking back when I was involved in the research (qualitative) project, I am so sceptical to believe with the small sampling size (20 to 30 people to represented the 5,000 to 10,000 potential customers, 0.004%!) that the research company proposed would be able to yielded enough justification for measuring the uncertain market.
Even with a greater sampling size it is also not possible to measure because the diluted effect will occur (in fact I also do not know what is the best sampling size neither do the research company expert). Human being are simply too complex to be measure and predicted that why in many religious teaching or sacred myth reminds us not to guarantee each other thought ha! Ha! (By the way the research bill cost a bomb for those uncertain measurement data)
How could we believe in using data finding alone would able to predict & anticipate human being next move? Do you believe that? What say you?
This entire data finding may be the culprit that put us into the box and set us apart from generating new idea in problem solving. Like the famous quote “ we can’t solve the problem within the logic itself”, Albert Einstein.
Ironically our fear prompts us to tackle uncertainty by peeping into future through crystal ball by using complex mathematical sciences. If this is the best way why we still have so much catastrophes stock market crashes, new products failure and new forms of pollutions?
Our dependence on automatism trend have made us lazy enough not to use our thinking head, look around us, many people just literally just accept new claim by data justification and trust what they read from internet search. The chain reactions from email are easily trigger and spread without filter by our own institution and common sense.
Student: Sir, if research findings data are not to be trusted, then what else we have to believe in?
Mr Martin: Data finding are viable for certain measurement but we must remember to use holistic problem solving approach, that means we must not forget others hidden elements within the problem itself. The project will fail drastically if we answer to the wrong problem.
When we introducing a new design for mass consumptions please do not rely on current trends finding for evolutional approach but it fact we can also looking into revolutionary approach so that we are able to “think out of the box”.
Student: Sir, do that means we learn the rule of design in order to bend it or forget about it?
Mr Martin: Yes.... and NO...
Drawing a boundary of platform with what we already know is a limitation for exploration and creativity, yet it is also putting ourselves into a box within our existing box (cognitive). So don’t design thing that we already know. Always hunger for the “WOW” impact in our design. Remember that this claim does not applicable in all problem solving its’ rely on the effectiveness of the solution.
Good designs are time and civilization bounds, these means the latest design are meant to be obsolete when new technologies and new social value over take it.
We must explore for new finding beyond empirical theories and values thus we are able to make good contribution in design. Some even claim that we are simply copycats that mimic from our natures; to me nature is the best inspiration as nature itself is the best design. So learn from nature, shut your box (computer) and get closer with nature. Yahoo! Picnic and camping time ha! ha!
We are into the type “R” movement where Retro & Recycle will make us more aware on our being and purpose of existing; it is time now for us to do ourselves a favour by practising “Self-Reflections”.
So who are you?
Do not forget to thank your parents and practise loving kindness to all beings.
Thank You, Love Mr. Martin
