Imagination is more important than.... (etc.)


Explanation:
I mean, these are different things:

"Die Vorstellungskraft ist unsere wichtigste Ressource" or (in English): "Imagination is more important than... (etc.).

Pls., next time make clear first:

1. what exactly you are trying to get translated (essence),
2. from which language into which language.

Because: if, in this case, you state "found it!", the German version you "found" does not harmonize at all with the English original you put initially to be translated by the help of, i.e., Kim who did a perfect job (as usual and expexted :-)).


    fitness in 4 languages (3 of them foreign), not stated by an official body, though :-)
