Imagination is not a trivial thing. Give it the seriousness it deserves. 想象力不是一件微不足道的事情。给它应有的严肃性。

When you imagine, put time and effort into it. Imagine in specific detail, with feeling, purpose and depth. 当你想象的时候，要投入时间和精力，要有感觉、有目的、有深度地想象具体的细节。

What you create, what you accomplish, starts with what you imagine. To achieve excellence, begin by imagining all the particulars of the excellence you seek to reach. 你所创造的，你所完成的，都是从你的想象开始的。要想达到卓越，开始时要想象你所追求的卓越的所有细节。

Your imagination can give you significant power over your thoughts, your perceptions, your actions, your life and your world. Employ it responsibly, respectfully, soberly, and with the highest of expectations. 你的想象力可以给你巨大的力量，支配你的思想、你的感知、你的行动、你的生活和你的世界。负责任地、恭敬地、清醒地使用它，并抱有最高的期望。

A whole lot of failures are primarily failures of imagination. And every success rests firmly on the ability to imagine. 很多失败主要是想象力的失败。每一个成功都依赖于想象力。

There are infinite possibilities you have not yet considered. Activate fully your imagination, and bring the best of them to life. 有无限的可能性你还没有考虑到。充分发挥你的想象力，把最好的东西带到生活中。
