Enigma Solution

Those who do not think outside the box are easily contained - Nicolas Manetta Image by Ben Heine Those who are in power always seek to maintain the status quo. They resent surprises and therefore frown upon change. The stronger they are, the greater the focus to keep organisations and systems rigid. Society, organisations and departments are akin to boxes. The people who are in power  or lead want things within their boxes stable and therefore rigid. Leave alone action,  even a new thought or idea is usually frowned upon. However in a rapidly changing, constantly evolving world, failure to innovate and improve can be harmful if not fatal. Thought always precedes action, so, it has become fashionable to tell people to think outside the box.  While improvements and innovation can be great, if not evaluated and managed properly, will result in chaos and resulting change may actually take the organisation backwards.

If you are sincere and work for the larger good of the people, do not make money for yourself or other backers then you are a liability. You will most likely be tried and executed.  If you wheel and you deal, and if you fake your sincerity and make yourself and other backers fabulously rich you will be wanted to be made the head of state.  What do you want to do?

Stabbing His Own Heart Werner Theodor Otto Forssmann, a German surgical trainee in 1929, is famous for an experiment he performed on himself.  He proposed a procedure but he was scorned. He believed in the approach so passionately and unable to get permission by the authorities to try it out he performed the procedure on himself. Without any direction, he put himself under local anesthetic, incised a hole in his arm and pushed a catheter all the way up his limb and shoved it into his heart. He performed the procedure on himself with two feet of cable after which he walked to the X-ray room. He was fired after this so called stunt, but was awarded the 1956 Nobel Prize for Medicine for developing a procedure that allowed for cardiac catheterization.
