Imagination

ByThe Dude
“Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”
~ Albert Einstein ~

Everybody’s got knowledge now. It’s in your pocket. You can look up anything in thirty seconds flat.

But knowledge just tells you what is. Imagination is what lets you see what could be.

The Dude doesn’t have all the answers. Nobody does. But he’s learned that the people who change things…the ones who build something from nothing…who see a better way before anyone else does…they’re not always the smartest people in the room. They’re the ones still asking “what if?”

That’s the muscle. Use it.

Knowledge tells you what is. Imagination shows you what could be.

    “Laughter is an instant vacation.”~ Attributed to Milton Berle ~ No plane ticket. No packing. No overpriced airport sandwich. Think about the last time you really laughed with somebody.
