What am going to share with you here actually took place not so long ago.

A friend of mine was dead broke and he decided to take a walk in the park.. as he pondered about his next move. All of a sudden he remembered something his grandpa had told him when he was young - imagination is better than knowledge. So he immediately put that to test and imagined that he had just found some $100 note. And guess what, a few meters away from him, he saw a clean $100 note.

Please share your thoughts on this one

Sounds like an old wive's tale and you were fed a story.

I have to agree with Indizine on this one. It sounds totally farfetched to me.

Well, let me try this out and let you know if it works. However, I use to believe this was being a dreamer....and for me I became frustrated because my imagination was not becoming knowledge. However, let me see if this works, once again

I think both imagination and knowledge are important. Imagination allows you to visualize a goal and knowledge allows you to achieve it.

The other half, imagines we're going to win the lottery and spends untold hours scouring the Rightmove website looking at multi million pound pads, she keeps showing me 10 bedroom mansions she fancies, with stables and untold acreage of land, lakes, gymnasiums and kitchens the size of our current back garden all with Aga's.
The only problem is;
(1) There's only 2 of us
(2) She hates cleaning
(3) If she got on a horse, chances are the RSPCA would visit
(4) She hates gardening
(5) She hates fishing
(6) The last time she was fit, we were both in our teens
(7) I tend to eat out a lot

So I would say, knowledge is better than imagination....
