Think back when you were a child and pretended you were a person or cartoon character that you wanted to be. Was it a famous movie star, a pilot, a fire fighter, lawyer, doctor, or perhaps you wanted to live someplace else?
We all pretended when we were little. Then pretending was replaced with the do's and don’ts of growing up. More time was spent learning the ABC’s while ignoring imagination. Many school budgets eliminated the greatest resource for building diversity in leaders and inventors…liberal arts!
If you were daydreamer, you were more than likely told you were wasting your time.
For shame on the daydreamers who created electricity, symphonies, computers, sanitation, vaccines, aircraft, printing and all that you see around you. Imagination stimulates solutions.
Look around and take in how others used their imagination to make a difference in your life, i.e., imagination of the knife and fork advanced to delicate tools used in surgery to save lives.
"You see things as they are and ask, “Why?” I dream things as they never were and ask, “why not?”"--George Bernard Shaw
