What is creativity? At the period of the ancient, people learned to make fire to cook , to scare beasts and to warm themselves. The purpose of all those things was to live a cosy life. The creativity is just like the fire. People strive to better their life in all ages. To achieve that, difficulties are born on the way. Only by being creative, can life be improved. In fact, creativity is all about making people’s life better and better.

At that time, he built the largest factory, introducing Assemble Line into mass production and reducing the cost of time and labor. This novel system did lower the price of manufacturing cars, allowing normal people to afford cars. Henry Ford using his creativity to replace the old means of automobile manufacturing allowed middle-class to afford cars.

That Henry Ford innovated the Assemble Line, lowering the price of automobile cars allowed him to succeed and promoted the whole industry forward.

At the same time, he designed a bunch of dances, for example the robot and the moon walk, and showed these dances on TV shows, making people love the pop music and making himself become more and more popular.
