Imagination has good as well as bad aspects. From a negative aspect, it is not good to imagine things that are not possible to achieve in reality. It will affect our psychology if we keep daydreaming all the time. In the same way, it has good aspects as well. It is a good source of writing for writers. Writers can imagine a certain world and create a fictional world. It gives amusement to readers. But in normal conditions, too much imagination can cause problems in an individual's life.

It is a beautiful thing if we use it positively in our lives. It is more interesting and optimistic. People can create a fantastic world that they want in real life.  It gives satisfaction to them satisfaction. Elon Reeve Musk (CEO of SpaceX) imagined space travel.  It was considered a pure fantasy. But now space travel is an important factor for the private sector. So, imagination can help us to cross boundaries and search for future possibilities.

C.   Do you talk to yourself when you are in trouble? If yes, how does it help you?

Talking to me helps me to find things. Sometimes, I forget the exact location of my things, like my purse, mobile, key, etc. I start talking to myself to remember the location. It works. It also helps me stay focused. When we are in problems, it is beneficial to talk to ourselves. I can concentrate my mind on my problem if I start talking to myself. It also motivates me when I talk to myself. I am being motivated to handle my problem when I talk to myself. Last time, I failed my exam in class 11. I started talking to myself about the causes behind it.

As a result, I concluded that I failed in my test exam due to my careless behavior. I made up my mind to start again to do better in my exam. I started talking to myself about my future steps to get better results. As a result, I became the topper in the final exam of the class.
