A Talk for a Cause

"When the solution is simple, God is answering." -Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein is known for being one of the greatest scientist in the world. He is unlikely of those other scientists who compared the Divine to Science. I somehow envy those who had the opportunity to have a small talk with him.
"Hey." I felt a hand on my shoulder and was shocked to see that it was him, Einstein. He asked me to come over here at 3 o'clock but it's 3:30 PM already, and I thought he won't come. It was nice to see him. "Sorry for making you wait." he then added.
"No" I said with my hands shaking, "...it's okay. I'm glad we had this gathering because I really wanted to ask some questions to you."
"Oh." silence was created until I decided to ask him a question.
"Uhm, Sir, what kind of talent do you think you have?"
"I have no special talent. I'm just passionately curious." he answered.
"So, I guess you have a wide imagination."
"Of course." then he smiled, "Logic will take you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere."
"But we all know that everything has a limit." I said.
"Yes, BUT..." I looked at him, "I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."
"Oh. Wow." I ran out of words but something suddenly popped into my mind. "Uhm, Sir, have you ever failed and asked for someone's help?"
"Well, of course, many times, but..." I just looked at him waiting for him to continue, "I am thankful to all those who said 'NO', because of them, I did it myself."
Slowly he fades, it's time for him to leave. Before he left, he said words of wisdom, "Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts." that made me smile until we both bid goodbye. I am about to leave the place when I remembered seeing him playing with the tissue while holding a pen. I looked at it and saw a note that says, "The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once."
I was thinking of reasons why he had written that, until I remembered how impatient I am.
