IMAGINATION WITHOUT DREAMING THE SECRET OF MATERIAL SUCCESS
"Marconi has imagination without being a dreamer."
Thus Mr. Serviss gave an explanation of material achievement and
material success on big lines.
WITHOUT imagination a man may prosper relatively. He may live
comfortably and die contented.
But at best such a man will only follow in beaten paths. He will
only do what others have done before him.
He will not receive any of the great rewards which humanity
offers to those whose IMAGINATION opens for the benefit of all
new fields of thought, of successful material effort. ----
In material achievement there are two elements--executive force
(which may be sub-divided into an indefinite number of
classifications) and the great creative power, IMAGINATION.
Imagination enabled Marconi to see the possibility of sending
electric messages without wires.
Had he been a dreamer, had he allowed his imagination to wander
on indefinitely into notions of talking to other planets, the
power of his imagination might have been in vain.
His imagination enabled him to SEE the possibility, and the
lack of the dreamer's quality enabled him to REALIZE it.
