Imagination means the act of imagining something or some person or event. Imagination is one of the mental abilities that help us to perceive our life and even come up with different ideas and plans. To put it simply, imagination is the skill of a person’s mind to come up with ideas and even create mental pictures of people or scenarios. Imagination is a creative ability and the majority of the time, this skill helps people to even come out of dire situations in life.

For example, in a workshop, to which all first-year graduate students were invited, Rahul also stood on the first bench. He came from a poor background with his father recently losing his job and his mother being sick. He had several family responsibilities and that’s why he had taken up a night job at a call centre. He also had to study well because without having completed graduation, he had fewer chances to make a career. With so much tension, Rahul was sitting on the first bench listening to the speaker. That’s when the speaker saw Rahul’s face and decided to put up an act.

The speaker asked all the attendees to close their eyes and imagine something that is wonderful to happen in the future. Rahul couldn’t do so but he tried hard when the speaker said that each one is born with this creative skill of imagination. Rahul imagined a better future with a home, a stable job, treating his parents in a better hospital for their health needs, taking care of his family well, and also making a good fortune. When Rahul imagined all these things, the speaker saw a beautiful smile on Rahul’s face that changed his mood.
Rahul thus overcame the sadness on his face by having the ability to imagine a better life and work towards it. Thus, the speaker helped Rahul to use the technique of imagination to create a good future and life. Same way, imagination also has side effects if done in a negative way. For example, an employer who had the habit of doubting his employees always imagined the worst-case scenario to happen in his life.
One day when all the employees were doing their work, this employer stood up and asked a few of them to leave as he doubted that they were leaking his confidential information. It was his imagination that he thought those few employees had leaked the information that only his company owned. However, when the check-up was done by the manager and another partner in the business, it was found out that the employer imagined things and whatever accusations he put on a few employees were all his mental pictures that were not real.
Some people also imagine the events that were happening in their past to happen in the future. For example, when Riya broke up with her second boyfriend, she imagined him coming back and begging her to patch up just like her first boyfriend did. But her imagination broke when such things didn’t happen with her second boyfriend and it was she who had to request him to patch up badly.
