The desk you sit at, and the pen you write with, all originated from an idea. Something as complex as an airplane, or as simple as a highlighter was created by a person’s imagination. Imagination is not only used to invent new products, but imagination is also used to make new discoveries. For example, the greek philosopher, Democritus, combined common knowledge and imagination to create the atomic theory. He did not have proof to support his claim, but he thought outside the box, and made an evolutionary discovery. Centuries later his theory is still being used. This goes to show that imagination changes how we think. If we acknowledge the power of imagination the possibilities are endless. You could create a time machine, or be the next Thomas Edison, but that will never happen if you only rely on facts and data. Sometimes the world uses knowledge when it should be using
