   My comment.
 It was once said that the school system was great for turning out  clerks 
with attention to detail! And management dwells on minutae as most cannot  
really define what it is that they should be doing.
    I became and excellent clerk/mgr and have spent the  rest of my life 
trying to "learn to think outside the box."
    DRAWING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE MIND by  Betty Edwards has been one of 
the best sources I have found. Her new video and  workbook really help if you 
are trying to learn to draw. 
    And carving sure makes ya think.
