IMAGINATION

Imaginative is having ability or power to create something.

The priority of imagination


Albert Einstein once remarked, “imagination is more important than knowledge.” He went ot say,
“knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving
birth to evolution.” Imagination is the engine the drives creative thinking.

Cultivating the imagination is essential for these reasons:


1. Imagination lead to creativity, which leads to innovation
2. Economic vitality depends on innovation spawned by imaginative and creative thinking
3. Imagination enriches our lives and makes us more fully human

REASON IMAGINATION IMPORTANT


1.Imagination ignites passion. As adults we have been forced into a world of responsibility and
practicality where money, bills, and jobs (many of which we hate) dictate how we live, breathe, and
experience the world. Dreaming of what can be allows us to tap into our imaginations again,
reminding us what it feels like to be passionate about something. Somewhere along the lines we have
lost that connection to passion and purpose in life and replaced it with survival and responsibility.

2. Our imagination and thoughts create our future. It’s long been said that ‘thoughts become
things’ and our imaginative muscle is the very thing that helps make that possible. When we stay
immersed in what is directly in front of us at all times (i.e. our current reality), we continually create
the same challenges, problems, and experiences over and over again. But, when we venture into our
imagination to focus on the reality that we want to experience, the energy is set in motion and
magnificent change can occur.

3. Imagination stimulates creativity and innovation. Some of the most influential and innovative
creations have come from the simple act of imagining something bigger, easier, or more beautiful.
Scientists and creative artists have an amazing gift for thinking outside the box and allowing their
imaginations the freedom to grow and evolve their thoughts, many of which have created products
that have changed the way we live entirely. Without this creative power we may never have had the
internet, smartphones, airplanes, and other amazing technology we rely on every day. Simply put,
imagination is the key ingredient to expansion and the advancement of our world.

4. Imagination is magical. Take a moment to watch a young child play alone and you will experience
first hand the magic that comes from imagination. Creative thought turns the mundane into a magical
experience. It is what turns a simple box into a powerful rocket, a laundry basket into a pirate ship,
and a simple bathtub into the deep blue sea.

Why we should care about imagination?


Without imagination, creative thinking and creative discovery are impeded. Imagination is a splendid
and amazing human capacity. Like our ability to analyze and reason, our capacity to imagine is a
bigpart of what makes us human.

there is no improvement, no progress.
