Imagination




Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world." ~ Albert Einstein



This simple quote helps explain how a spark of imagination led to the creation of many of our most important inventions. If the inventors had not had the imagination to first dream about electricity, the automobile or the computer, they would not have used their knowledge to create these things that we depend on so much today. Before invention comes imagination. Without imagination, knowledge is like an empty vessel. It's only when the imagination is stimulated that knowledge can begin to grow & the desire to create ignited.

Yep, I am liking today's post. Great photo, quote and thoughts. Perhaps one with both knowledge and imagination is really a dreamer. The bigger the dreamer the more they have the potential to accomplish.

Thanks for the comments. Faylin, I think you're probably right, the bigger the dreamer the bigger the potential for accomplishing something wonderful.
