Reading many books is important, but how you interpret what you read matters more. The ability to interpret affects how knowledge is applied in real life, making a big difference. Experiences and circumstances heavily influence interpretation, but imagination is fundamentally crucial. Even if you see the same thing in an imagined experience, the interpretations can vary greatly, and what drives action in reality also differs. The skill to connect what we know with new ideas is called creativity, but the way we make these connections comes from imagined experiences. Imagine in your own way! - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
I believe that humans’ key activities are discovery and imagination. Humans grow through thought, which involves gathering information from the exploration of nature and society and organizing it meaningfully. Progress occurs when we connect with and apply this information beyond its immediate relevance, and this process of connection is termed imagination. Discovery serves as the foundational material for imagination, while imagination generates new outcomes through application, leading to development. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
