Amir’s favourite quote is, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress and giving birth to evolution.” – Albert Einstein. This quote serves as a reminder to Amir about the significance of creativity and innovation in problem-solving, which is essential in his field of hydrogeology.
