Although Einstein said that imagination is more important than knowledge, it is still a debatable issue to decide which is superior between imagination and knowledge. Knowledge indeed comes from various sources such as information, observation, reading, training, teaching, experience, and practice. When we look at knowledge acquisition through information it is sometimes the excessive information that is killing the imagination. Therefore, people must learn to differentiate between chalk and cheese and between important and unimportant to manage their time as well as to take adequate information for enhancing their knowledge base.
Research reveals that currently knowledge gets doubled annually unlike in the 19th century when it took almost 100 years to double knowledge. It shows the explosion of information and the load it is creating on human minds. People have to be very choosy about the intake of information as unwanted information leads to contamination of their minds apart from wasting their time.
Integrate Imagination, Intelligence, and Information
When we compare and contrast knowledge and imagination, it is the imagination that is more important as knowledge comes from the imagination's imagination. Intelligent individuals can articulate their knowledge effectively. Some individuals have vast knowledge but limited intelligence. In contrast, some individuals have tremendous intelligence but limited knowledge. The fact is that individuals with tremendous intelligence with limited knowledge are more powerful to articulate than the ones who have vast knowledge but limited intelligence. To conclude, the human mind is very powerful as it creates several things through imagination. However, this imagination is always supported by intelligence and information. Hence, blend all 3is—imagination, intelligence, and information effectively for achieving all-around success.
