Imagination is the power to mentally visualize abstract ideas and concepts and to associate
these mental manifestations with vocal sounds and writings.
Imagination comes in many guises - most people think to imagine means to fantasize or
daydream but this powerful mental ability means much more than that. Any mental activity that requires visualization is a form of imagination.
Imagination is an extremely powerful human activity; it is what makes us human.
Along with that, it is also what makes us change.
Imagination is a human virtue that has allowed centuries to pass with a revolution every few years.
That change in our attitude and thinking is what makes life as a human being so attractive.
We have used our imagination to overcome many barriers, by coming up with some of the most innovative ideas imaginable.
Imagination is what created the Mozarts and Shakespeares of the world.
Art, the most beautiful form of expression, is dependent completely on imagination.
Without imagination, there would be nor art. Imagination allows us to relax, as it permits us to live, even as a dream, in a world where we would want to live,
an ideal world form our individual perspective. That which starts off as a childish activity, in the form of imaginary friends, goes on to become our greatest asset in the
world outside. We are given credit for using our imaginations to do our jobs.
Imagination gives us hope for the future, and to certain extent the past and present also.
We sometimes imagine the past as being better than today; cleaner air, lush greenery etc. are some of the things we cherish from the bygone era.
We rely on imagination in the present as well. We sometimes use it to tone down our mistakes, by imagining that the consequences of our follies would be very minor.
And of course, we cannot forget the future.
Imagining the future is the apex of creativity.
The way our mind runs at super-sonic speeds when we picturise the future gives us surety to live our present in the best possible manner..
It is this ability of mankind that has allowed it to roam and dominate the earth for the last
40,000 years, and it will be this same gift, that will permit it to continue its rule over the next millennia.
