About This Quote
Our education system often teaches us how to conform more than how to wonder and venture. This quote is poignant since the motto of the school system is “Think for yourself”. When we are taught that our job is only to conform, it becomes extremely hard for us to think independently. It’s not uncommon for us to have little or no imagination during school.
This quote reminds us that the greatest power in life is imagination. To have imagination, you don’t have to conform, but instead you can use your imagination to explore and create. You can wonder around in life, seeking out things that you find interesting, and in doing so you will find your own individual ways of making a mark in the world.
