Businesses sometimes encourage people to “think outside the box” (think unconventionally) to find solutions. “You’ll have a whole eternity to think inside the box” is a popular poster—with the words inside a box that is shaped like a coffin. The design was made by Wordboner and has been cited in print since April 7, 2010.

If you never venture outside the box, you will probably not be creative. But if you never get inside the box, you will certainly be stupid.
