economist suntribune opinion thursday june 13 2002 ryan proves youth not wasted on the young if you believe youth is wasted on the young you havent heard ryan masons take on imagination ryans a grade 6 student at st brigid catholic elementary school in stouffville the 12 yearold is the winner of a public speaking contest held recently by the york district catholic school board ryan entered the grade 4 5 and 6 category represent ing 78 schools and 11000 students on monday ryan gave his winning speech at the stouffville lions club dinner meeting it was the best speech ive ever heard at a service club meeting and believe me ive heard a few ryan mason has a glint in his eye a kick in his walk a fine head of hair and pro viding he doesnt take any wooden nickels and avoids needless safety nets hell be like cream hell rise to the top until then ryan is bright tall and most important a happy child he has spunk friends sisters and unlike many children a pair of together parents ryans mom and his dad love arid nurture him ryans father is my boss im not big on bosses but if the company insists i have one ill take ryans dad since jim mason helped turn out a kid like ryan maybe some of the good stuff will fall my way the cardinal rule of a writer and a speaker is write and talk about only what you know and ryan knows his subject he has an imag- ination ryan reminded the lions club that albert einstein offered us much in his life including this nugget imagination is more important than knowledge einstein believed knowl edge is limiting but imagi nation encircles the world ryans trying to get his teachers to embarrass einsteins theory he needs to know teach ers lead the knowledge parade and teachers are big on facts heres ryans take on facts could it be that its better to imagine a possibili ty than to know a fact its obvious ryan rides the imagination highway itll lead him to interesting and worthwhile places i believe teachers would rather not have an einstein or a thomas edison in their class the edisons and einsteins of the world are great dreamers of course the dreaming joan ransberry is not confined to after class teachers and day dreamers are a poor mix einsteins edisons and the walt disneys day dream in the morning in the afternoon and in the dark of night dreamers dont let the clear light of day interfere with the dreams because the likes of alexander graham bell are imagination driven they dont take to shelf life their attention spans are like humming birds and they always color outside the lines its prettier out there its free einstein and his cronies look at life from the inside out they ask why and why not in the same breath they laugh and love like theres no tomorrow they imagine the impossible they dream their dreams and when they can and when they cant they live their dreams some people of imagination insist on cre ating a world worthy of their dreams and when they least expect it they deliver to us such things as telephones light bulbs radios dyna mite insulin airplanes and talking pictures the root of each and every invention is imagination in his speech ryan gives god top marks for imagina tion could you have imag ined a giraffe ryan asked good question his speech included the one of the grand masters of imagination with an eartoear grin ryan told the lions to take dr seusss advise and think left and think right and think low and think high oh the thinks you can think up if only you try ryan reached put and touched a soft spot in my heart by quoting michelangelo i saw the angel in the marble and carved until i set him free said michelangelo ryan reminded us that we wouldnt have the angel if michelangelo didnt have imagination in return i have this to say to ryan go forward take only good
