🔹 1.Imagination
Meaning:
The ability to create ideas, pictures, or stories in your mind — anything, even unreal things.Key idea:
Free thinking, no limits
Examples:
- A child imagines flying like a bird
- You imagine a future life, even if it’s not realistic
- Creating stories, fantasy, or new ideas
👉 Simple sentence:
“I imagine a big house on the moon.”
🔹 2.Envision
Meaning:
To picture a real future situation, especially something you want to achieve or plan.Key idea:
Clear + goal-oriented thinking
Examples:
- A manager envisions a successful company
- You envision your construction business growing bigger
- Planning your future step-by-step
👉 Simple sentence:
“I envision my company becoming the best contractor in Phnom Penh.”
🔥 Key Difference (Very Simple)
- Imagination = Anything (free, creative, fantasy)
