Imagination is more important than knowledge

This is one of my all time favourite quotes.. not because the person who said it is the greatest genius(personally i dont agree he is)... but because it is one of those quotes that fuels me to be a great thinker..

Its sad to admit but many of us, especially medical students failed to realise the ultimate truth.. The ultimate truth which has been the core of many great civilization... "Humans who want to achieve or begin something great in their life shall upheld their imagination higher than their knowledge"

Knowledge comes with edge which limits ur achievement... while imagination comes with gin (A machine that separates the seeds from raw cotton fibers) which enable u to see ur true inner potential..

i'm not saying knowledge is not important.. its very important indeed.. as it provide a basic platform for u to think... but by emphasizing too much on knowledge and facts... doesnt really make u a great person.. let me give u an example.. Sir Isaac Newton.. when apple fell on his head, he could have just stick to his knowledge [tat apples are delicious and he should eat it].. obviously if he had done tat, he would have been just "another ordinary man".... but he choose to work his imagination based on the knowledge tat everything with a mass falls downward.. thus we have theory of gravity..

So ppl.. be try not to be too "skema" and demand only knowledge... try to add some spice by exploring existing facts with ur unlimited imagination.. who knows u might be the next greatest genius of all time.. ok ppl... i think i will end this post now.. and we can discuss further.. either personally or in the comment section..
