A metaphor that means don't be mainstream, think freely and creatively. Don't just see the obvious, pay more attention to the content. Don't discount anything as unrelated or unconnected. Make an effort to push your thinking up to and beyond its limit. All the talents that you've developed at school should come in handy when you need to beef up your out of the box thinking skills.
Step back and see if the solution to the problems lie outside the box. One must think outside the box.
