The Greatest Life Lesson: Imagination is Everything
From building an empire, to writing brilliant scripts and creating financial instruments, our imagination is the greatest tool conceivable.
In the book of Genesis, a critical mass of people who spoke one language, came up with the idea of building an edifice, one which will touch the heavens. The tower of Babel, as it became known, failed miserably in its bid, to accomplish its goal, not because of the sterility of their imagination, but because of an epiphany from God Almighty, in his prompt realization that, in a battle against a united people, driven by clear mind and forceful will, he will emerge second best.
In the intervening years, building a tower of babel, has become the least of our problems — perhaps due to the fact, that we have the one language that great numbers of people speak — English.
What mattered then in biblical times and what matters today, is that, central to achieving our goals, dreams, deeply held desires, the one critical and undisputed thing is — our imagination.
The human mind, which fuels our imagination, sets the tone and agenda for the work needed to undertake the tasks to fulfill our strategic objectives and at the heart of this article, we will explore the number of instances, in which our civilization is powered by how we see things.
