There is nothing new under the Sun but* is good to find out what there is :)

I am really glad when I notice people questioning the status quo: it is the very place where they can start managing ''the new'' of them. (Because, yes, from the Sun point of view - well..)

There are already a lot of standard phrase in business - they appeared with a good intention to support good work, but there is a danger to end by prevent thinking by oneself - to be present as a person, the necessary condition to a good rapport with work.

One of this statement to follow is ''Think outside the box'', and I was happy to read some doubts about its effectiveness nowadays.

The exploring of thinking is not.
As well as the attention to yourself. And the minimum condition for attention is to be present within yourself. And this is not at everybody’s ease. On the contrary.
We are used to focus on the past or on the future solutions – because that solutions are not verifiable. Being present is checking your results, having feedback, seizing what could be a feed forward, being aware of ‘the next-level present’.
