Real sign of intelligence isn’t knowledge, its imagination – Albert Einstein


It’s really hard to define what is really intelligent are, right? Where is it inherited? Is it genetically inherited, is it inherited from environment or earned? Intelligence has been defined in many different ways. According to Dr. Gardner, intelligence refers to how we are wired as a whole meaning, intelligence is acquiring and applying knowledge and skills. Some people believe that intelligence is the knowledge we gain through education. Is it having a degree a real sign of intelligence? For me no. Your degree is useless if you are not successful after you graduated because you did not apply.  Intelligence is not about the ranking, it’s more about who will become when you finish your studies.  


Einstein on his famous quotes “Real sign of intelligence isn't knowledge, its imagination”. Yes it is true. Our knowledge can be limited. When you got older your knowledge can reduced, you may forget a lot, wherein you cannot remember all the things you've learned. Knowledge is limited but are imaginations are not.  For example if a person is not intelligent but he have a strong imagination that his/her imagination can change the world because of the new ideas. Our imagination is very powerful, right? Come to think of it. We are unique and gifted because we have the ability to visualize something that doesn't exist and we can bring that non-existent thing into real or existence and that is a real sign of intelligence. “THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX”. Our imagination will take us everywhere.  Our imagination can be our inspiration and it can be motivation to follow our dreams.  I believe that if you imagine something you can make it happen. Knowledge is nothing if you did not apply it into real life. Imagination embrace the whole world, with our imagination it seems like you can conquer the world.
