Albert Einstein, the man who revolutionized our understanding of the universe, famously said, 'Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world. ' His wisdom wasn't about memorizing facts; it was about the ability to ask 'What if? ' and to see connections that others missed. He believed that the intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. Einstein challenges us to break free from rigid thinking and to approach the world with a sense of wonder and playfulness.
