Albert Einstein wrote: \u201cImagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand\u2026. Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.\u201d So often people are heard to say: I will do my best!\u00a0 That is laudable, and also limiting. It betrays possibilities.\u00a0 One\u2019s \u2018best\u2019 is only what they know\u2026 the culmination of their experiences and learning. Yet, there is so much more that is yet to be known, to be dreamed and imagined.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Imagination is the great leaders\u2019 magic.\u00a0 Current realities, once dreams, are transformed by the magic of imagination. Barriers and limits disappear with its sorcery. It brings enchantment and joy, a childishness that has no bounds.\u00a0 Sun Tzu, author <\/span><\/span>The Art of War<\/i><\/span><\/span>, wrote: \u201cCan you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can?\u201d Stephen Covey tells us: \u201cLive out of your imagination, and not your history.\u201d And\u00a0\u00a0 Henry David Thoreau\u2019s gentle counsel to us is: \u201cOur truest life is when we are in dreams awake.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Fill your life with wondrous dreams that expand your world. Imagination\u2026 a magical and treasured key to knowing what we don\u2019t know. As Antoine de Saint-Exupery wrote: A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
