The gift of imagination

Einstein once said imagination is more important than knowledge. Imagination opens your mind and your heart to the possible. Imagination lets you examine the past and visualize the future. Imagination affects everything we do, think, and create. Imagination equals existence and beyond.

In math, complex systems are self-organizing. Our mind is self-organizing as well - if we just let it wonder.

Utilizing the imaginative power of our mind we will explore and discover new theories and, envision dreams that will become inventions benefiting academia, engineering, and the arts.

Reading books aloud to your child from infant age stimulates her imagination and expands her understanding of the world around her. When your child understands the world, she will be able to travel in her mind to faraway lands, other times, different dimensions and put herself in other people's shoes. She will develop empathy, a key-ingredient to appreciating the benefits of interrelations and belonging. And once she comprehends the power of belonging, she will be able to link together differentiated ideas, therefore contribute to advancement of society, and not only create or remodel her own life, but also those of others.

Let this be the reasonable reminder to read to her every single day.

When you do this, you will unmistakably instill in her the love for reading, and she will develop the ability to build mental scenes in her mind, objects or events that do not exist in this realm, and imagine a new, a better world.

Imagination leads to innovation, so please give her the gift of books and therefore the eternal gift of imagination.
