Meet the Man Who Invented Thinking Outside of the Box

Robert EbsenOP-ED

May I Introduce You to Contents?

Stuff. In boxes that are professionally labeled (with a labelmaker, of course).

“BROKEN.” “TV CONNECTORS.” “GARDEN.” “DUST MASKS.” “ELECTRICAL,” — and so on.

Now for the piece de resistance. Are you thinking: How WONDERFUL that he can find whatever he is looking for at a moment’s notice?

WRONG.

Where is that box labeled “NAILS”? – or was it labeled “SCREWS & NAILS”? Or was it labeled “TOOLS – NAILS”?

The upshot: If you don’t just LOVE having labeled boxes around, then be prepared to HATE looking for things in those boxes when the time comes. We BOX LOVERS could care less about the “looking for things” – It’s the BOX that counts.
