Thinking outside of the box is always an amazing skill no matter what you are set out to accomplish. Sometimes the ability to venture beyond the conventional solution is the difference between being good at what you do and being superb at what you do. However, this should always be viewed as a bonus and not a requirement. Creative versatile people with Napoleonic skills in many areas should be seen as exceptional and not the standard for evaluating others.
In this post I would like to propose and examine an alternative to the common idea of a successful team of loonies capable of coming up with ideas so idiotic that they border being genius. Sometimes being good at what you do is enough, and diversity could be provided by a person with a completely different mindset and way of thinking. Let’s look at the following diagram generously provided by the amazing, versatile, and very much capable author of the current post:

It’s 5 in the morning, and a quick glance at my bedside table shows me that the answer to the question “Why am I suffering from a devastating insomnia lately?” isn’t too far away. No further explanations.
I do believe that this is the post where it would be most appropriate to express my utmost respect for the Facebook group called “University – Working hard 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, 2 weeks a year.” Once again Red Bull and chocolate have been the heaviest sponsors of this year’s exam period.
Men obsessed with cars make me sick. By all means I don’t mean people that take care of their vehicles and try to keep them clean and maintained. I mean people who are wholeheartedly in love with their cars, and their lives revolve around them. It’s a god damn set of wheels; it’s not really gonna make your dick any longer, and even if it could help you get laid, the women that would actually fall for that are generally the ones which you should not be aiming at unless you want to get a whole bouquet of STDs at once. Despite all that, I do recognize 3 main reasons to have a car. The first one is the practical reason which normally (but rarely) should be the dominant one. A car’s main purpose should be to get you quickly from point A to point B without using any unconventional methods like teleportation or warp speed. The second one is the one mentioned, which I would call showing off. The car is often known as the extension of the penis. Thus the bigger the car, the smaller the actual package, so all of you buying the BMW X6, your dirty little secret has been exposed. There is still hope for you, though. Just move to Japan and suddenly you’ll be the most gifted person in the neighborhood. The third reason is somewhat neglected these days, and I would like to remind the world that driving a car can also be a pleasurable experience. I would definitely consider this reason different than the showing off one, although many people merge those two. Yes, many people take pleasure in others looking at their vehicle, but that is fundamentally different from actually enjoying the driving itself.
