Imagination Vs Knowledge

What happens if you have imagination in you and knowledge in you? Once Einstein said that “Imagination is better than knowledge” So, People what do you think, is imagination is better than knowledge. If a guy only imagines and lives in his own world with great deal of imagination without having any prior knowledge of anything then what will happen. He was right in the sense that the person is already having some knowledge and in case if he imagines something then imagination is better in comparison. But the thing is, Today Mr. X has both imagination and knowledge but he will be some one like me who can imagine things and also have knowledge but do not have any job and have nothing to do. Mr. X is having thousand ideas and he is imaginative but where to use them? Who wants to buy his ideas? No one, he cannot prove that his ideas are right because he lacks the resources but this is how the world works and has been working in the past. Now, we have top companies in world, top scientist and researchers working for them. We are living a calendar life, every day we do our task based on predefined routine and we think that we will generate some great ideas based on our routine forget it people , just forget it. If we are going to create a bright future then for that we have to follow and listen to our heart not our mind. Imagination is better than knowledge but a person can have both if he wants to be lonely and wants to live a life of some one like monk. He will not have any things besides his imagination and knowledge. Thanks to Einstein who thought that imagination is better than knowledge in his time it was absolutely correct and no one would have second thought on this statement but today I don’t think this statement is valid since you need to have knowledge for imagination. Without a Phd Degree no one is willing to hire you as a Researcher for x or y company. No one. Even if you can imagine now…that the system can be build like this or that. You cannot implement your ideas because of lack of knowledge, time and resources so for now, Welcome to the world of knowledge and imagination where none of them are better. !
