"Imagination is more important than
knowledge" – Albert Einstein
Why would one
of the smartest people in history say something so counterintuitive? We are
taught to depend on knowledge.
However, knowledge is based on the past. It’s what has already been discovered
and what we already know. The future rests in part on that knowledge, but more
importantly, by its very definition, it requires something that does not
already exist.
True
imagination is conjured up from nothing. If you allow yourself to think from
nothing – suspend all knowledge and preconceptions and allow yourself to be
with nothing – you will be amazed at the possibilities that enter your mind.
When you allow
yourself to enter the world of imagination, you can create knowledge. All the
great inventors who have provided us with hypothesis and proofs for us to learn
know this. They invented knowledge from nothing.
What knowledge
will you invent today?
