From my perspective, I mostly agree with the statement that imagination is a more valuable asset than experience.
Admittedly, one cannot completely live a life depending on impractical and lofty imagination. Embedded into this modern society full of trivial social activities, one no doubt has to follow experience, no matter from him/herself or others, as to survive. For instance, if one worked as a novice in a large companies, instead of precipitously taking actions according to their own imagination, he/she would better listen what more experienced employees said, and if possible, handle tasks as they do. Or in another case, rather than creating one’s own social rules, the better one complies with social decorum-basically conventions derived from past experience-the better one behaves and impress others in socials. Indeed, there are myriad cases that illustrate the significance of experience.
Experience, however, is relatively more limited than is imagination, one intrinsic intellectual element in human brain. Experienced as one is, circumscribed by opinions of majority, he/she might probably repeat their mistakes in the past, such as that in the ignorance of gravity, heavier objects will fall more quickly than the lighter ones and that under the unawareness of relationship between Sun and Earth, the Sun is orbiting around the Earth. Thanks to the fancy imagination, illuminati of mankind went beyond boundaries and reshaped our knowledge.
Furthermore, it is imagination rather than experience help human race proceed along the history. If human race had technically remained in steam gas age, one would have never experienced the convenience of electricity, a benefiting discovery and application imagined by Thomas Edison once not existed. If computer had not been created, a machine beyond imagination of contemporary engineers, one would have no way to chat with any person around the world. Without those innovative deeds, mankind cannot evolve to an extent to which the globe is well connected.
In sum, though valuable to some degree, experience weighs less than imagination.
