　　The Significance of Creation

　　Throughout the ages, we have concluded a number of factors that contributeto success, among which is creation. Just as the saying goes, “There is nodoubt that creation is the most important human resource of all.” Not only iscreation the force driving economy and society to advance, but it is alsoessential to the development of individuals. Those who often come up withnew ideas often turn out to be easy to achieve success while a man who alwayssticks to habit and experience can hardly create new things.

　　In terms of giving measuresto encourage creation, I will list the following ones. On the one hand,the public are expected to realize the significance of creation, so the socialmedia should play its due role in advocating the value of innovation and encouragingthe public to cultivate awareness of creation. On the other hand, those who areequipped with creative thinking deserve some kind of praise, both materiallyand spiritually.

　　Creationhas been a hot word for a long time and we cannot emphasize the importance ofcreation too much. Therefore, we should spare no effort to learn knowledge asmuch as possible to prepare ourselves to be creative people.
