ESSAY
“Logic will get you from A to B Imagination will take you everywhere.”- Albert Einstein.
Imagination is considered to be more important than knowledge because imagination
embraces the whole world, stimulates progress and gives birth to development. However,
knowledge is limited. Logic is considered to be as the end product which requires critical
thinking through purpose and imagination. Logic will help you move from one purpose to the
another (Mohanasundari and Padmaja, 2018). But, imagination helps the individual move one
step further and take the individual everywhere. Imagination is considered to be more important
when compared with the knowledge because imagination helps in opening up the mind and heart
of the individual. Imagination tends to encircle across the globe. Imagination is considered to be
a basis for knowledge. Knowledge is infinite and is also as important as imagination. It is a
reference to what has been accomplished because of the past acts of imagination. However,
imagination is considered to be crucial and is useful in the promoting the ideas with great degree
of accuracy and relevance. Imagination is useful in the creation of knowledge. Without
imagination no knowledge exists. Imagination helps in making life interesting and also gives
birth to innovation. It enables the person to come up with the beautiful set of ideas (Einstein,
2018). Imagination is considered to be powerful tool which is useful in boosting up the
knowledge. Imagination is significant in and allows the individual person in visualizing logical
set of conclusion by effectively questioning the hierarchy of certain assumed facts. Logic and
imagination both are important because neither is impelling without another. It goes hand in
hand. Imagination is useful in drawing upon out experiences and helps one in exploring beyond
the constraints. It helps one in drawing a mental image and is useful in stimulating the progress.
On the contrary, logic helps the person moving from A to B which means that, it helps the
individual to effectively analyse the experiences and any other situation through the specific
process related with the continuous self- assessment. Imagination helps the person to be more
creative and invent at the greater scale (Jaroszkiewicz, 2020). Logic helps the person work in his
or her own 5 senses and critically evaluate the outcome associated with the specific situation.
Imagination is usually based upon the structural language rules. Logic can be derived from the
imagination. However, logical and imagination has been fundamentally inter- related. None is
considered to viable without another. However, logic and imagination has greater degree of
relationship. Hence, the quote stated by the Albert Einstein states that, “Logic will get you from

A to B Imagination will take you everywhere.” Logic helps the person mover from one thing to
the another. However, imagination helps the individual encircle across the world and attain
greater heights at an optimum level. Imagination helps in invention and elaborate theories. It is
useful in the creation of successful future with greater relevance and efficiency. However,
imagination influences everything a person do and reach everywhere.
