144. Sometimes imagination is a morevaluable asset than experience. People who lack experience are free to imagewhat is possible and thus can approach a task without constraints ofestablished habits and attitudes.

Great imagination power is the mostdistinguished power of human-beings, superior to another creatures', whichmodify world as the world we living now. Result in imagining, our ancestorsgained the ability of invent and create. It is treated as one's ultimate sourceof power to remould the objective world by an ancient Greek philosopher -Aristotle. It seems that imagination is so important that nothing is able to bementioned in the same breath with it. And the statement that withoutconstraints of experience benefits is an absolute truth. But concluding that statementas a truth is in some ways impetuous.

In fact, the core issue of the statement isto judge which is more important, the imagination, or the experience. Thus, therelationship between imaginations and experience is the first focus point.Although it is not a simple question, the following question may try to help usto reach the surface. Can you imagine a baby, having no sense about the world,imagining how to drive a car? Even the question is not enough to illustrate thefundamental function of experience to imagine, you, who is reading the passagenow, have already proved it. I am a hundred percent sure that readers readingthis passage, who want to answer this question, have tried to search forsomething: cars, babies, or other related objects, in your memory; and you havetried to imagine based on your experience! Experience provides one concepts inthe world which enable one to understand the world. It is clear that imaginingis just an imagination without experience.

However, the statement of imagination is amore valuable asset than experience holds water. The statement unveil anotherfunction of experience: it tells one which is valid and which is not; so, itcan be constraints of expanding imagination. For example, certain cars not onlyrefer to an object moving on land that can carry creatures or good, they alsoimpress observer with their appearance -- color, shape, size and etc. An objectmoving on land is the concept, or the core characteristic, of a car, and itsappearance impressing us is the constraints, or details. When a designer isrequested to design a car, he is asked to design a certain object has the samecharacteristic of a car. To an expert car designer, experience of designing acar provides details of a car and helps him finish the work, and he would bepleasure to follow the details; while neophyte needs to create and imaginebecause of lacking experience to tell him how to do, which make he has higherchance to reach the success.

In general, imagination, as well asexperience, is important, and it is hard to indicate which is more important.Moreover, the relationship of imagination and experience is rather complex thansimple; experience provides a sky for imagination at the same time controls it.So, the key to resolve the imagination-experience dilemma is to understand theconcepts from experience and to break constraints of details.
