Introduction
In this report we will be investigating about whether or not Motivation in a creative environment is a good thing in our lives. Motivation is willingness to perform a work more productive. It can be applied to every action and aim. These can be to acquire good grades at university, own a business or become a lawyer. Motivation is present whenever there is a strong desire and faith in one’s abilities. Motivation is one of the keys to success. If there is short of motivation a person either gets no results or only mediocre results, however when there is motivation the person acquires better achievements. Comparing a student which lacks motivation and who hardly studies, to a student who is highly motivated and who utilises many hours to study; they will reach completely different grades. Insufficient motivation shows lack of enthusiasm and ambition, whereas the possession of motivation is a sign of strong willingness, energy and enthusiasm, and the desire to do whatever it takes to reach what one sets out to do. Motivated people are happier, more energetic, and see the positive end result in their mind. * -------------------------------------------------
