             When embarking on a new endeavor , creativity is a n essential  ingredient  in the recipe of success . This is because with more creativity, there is more innovation, which is the most appealing things for consumers.  After extensive research on films, magazines, and speeches, I have  come to the conclusion  that without any creativity,  it is very hard to compete  in this day and age .  As seen from the article,  An Interview with Ron  Beghetto : Subtle Nuances of Creativity ,  the most productive parts of a project of any kind  are  attributed to creativity .  It states,  “There are potential costs to oneself and others.

The entire interface was littered with many little buttons and options; the possibilities truly seemed endless. Even in the Article ‘Survival of the Fittest states, “You mention creative limitations and I think online journals can--and already sometimes do--open up a whole new conceptual arena. We recently published an essay by Dinty Moore written using Google Maps; we created a print expressi...
