I want to share with you one of my favorite Einstein quotes which is " Information is more important than knowledge." I have to prepare a presentation about it, so that i have found some interesting information. In October 26 1929 George Silvester Viereck interviewed with that genius physician about his quote. Here is Einstein reply to the interviewer*
" I am not suggesting knowledge is meaningless. Knowledge is a well traveled path that keeps us grounded from one point to another. Imagination takes us beyond where our feet are planted. Imagination gives us wings to soar above today's problems to find tomorrow solutions. knowledge should be used to guide imagination and discovery not preclude it. What difference could I make if I explored what was possible, instead of just was probable? We can not know for certain what the future holds. They say that a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a change in the weather halfway around the world. So just imagine what one person could accomplish locally. Life can not be lived in reverse. Knowledge thinks of the past but imagination is the future. Just imagine what the future holds. "
