Think impossibly big
From Wiki
"Think impossibly big" is one of the stated values of our PogoTribe. Please use this wiki page to flesh out what exactly this means to us. The end goal is to have a 2-3 paragraph summary of each of our stated values.
Thinking impossibly big means not being afraid to have the craziest ideas and to admit them. The most insane impossible idea can still be a good idea. Think impossible. Then make it possible.
Allowing for the extreme imagination of this amazing and large group to go past the limitations of the world. Drifting past logical, controllable, and finally reasonable seas we will find ourselves in the middle of an ocean of greatness.

Thinking Big
You can start by imagining your biggest dream. Now this dream must be out of the world. Nothing that the world has seen. Now think how this world is different from reality. Think of what you can do to this world to make it closely to your dream as possible. By doing this you will be starting to live in a dream. You will not be living in the reality you are living in now. You will have obtained something most people have put away for when they sleep.
Why Think Big?
Imagine you are in a marathon. You're a pretty good runner, but maybe not the best. Either way though, you're revved up, motivated, and aiming for first place. It's a long race, but you keep your spirits high and your goal in sight, pushing yourself for first the whole way. In the end, maybe you get first, but maybe you only get third, the bronze. Whatever you get, however, you know that it was your absolute best.
Now imagine you are in the same marathon, but you set your goal more "reasonably". Not as big. Let's say you were aiming for bronze, third, all along. You don't quite have the same motivation now. Your eyes are on the back of the person in third place instead of looking beyond him/her to the lead runner. You still push yourself, but maybe not as much. You come in fifth or sixth.
The lesson is, always always ALWAYS aim for the best in what you do. When the race is done, be proud of what you've achieved, but while you're still on the course think of nothing more than how to win it all. It is by doing so that you will push yourself to the max, and bring out your own greatest performance.
Small problems are thinking small. Big problems are "world peace" and "business practices that work for everyone". Take on big problems for no reason at all other than you want to. Martin Luther King could have kept it about his own preaching or his family. Instead he took it large and dreamed for everyone.
How to Think Beyond This World
To think out of this realm you first must learn about other realms and research alternate ways of thinking that include other realms. Take, for example, the Buddhists' belief in alternate realms which one enters after death. Or look into the M theory and the string theory which state that there are other dimensions that exist beyond ours. These dimensions could be right next to this one. In the other dimensions, you can do that which is unthinkable, such as defying our laws of science. These dimensions also can be located on a sub-subatomic (meaning a structure within a subatomic particle) particle. Now that is a way to think small and big! Another way to think big yet small is to research quantum physics and quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is the study of the behavior of atoms. To think big you need to start from the foundation or bottom and build up. Studying atoms you could imagine the possibilities that lay ahead and how the world can be changed. Quantum physics is already being used to help the world. Researching these not only help you think big but help you SHAPE THE WORLD!
The people who first thought of these concepts are people who have learned to think of things beyond themselves. And when you're thinking is limitless, anything can happen
