Do you know where did the phrase "out of box thinking" originate from? Can you please share some of your own experiences of "out of box thinking". I will appreciate practical examples from real life. Do we have any similar phrases in other languages that describe exactly the same phenomena, I don't think so about Urdu and PunjabI, Thanks.

out-of-the-box thinking means thinking that moves away in diverging directions so as to involve a variety of aspects and which sometimes lead to novel ideas and solutions; associated with creativity. Another phrase is "think outside the box/square"
