Raul Cuero Interview

I think one key point is to not limit yourself based on what society says you can and cannot do.  Raul Cuero makes an excellent point here that can be applied in everyday life.  People should not let others or the norm stop them from achieving their goals and aspirations.  Do not limit yourself because often you are not allowed to reopen the doors that you have already closed.  Think of all the possibilities and always try because you never know when you will succeed and beat the odds.

"Changing the expectations by doing something that the other person does not expect.  Creativity is based on innovation and something that is not obvious and unknown."  This quote by Cuero is essential in how creativity works.  In order to keep life interesting and to stand out, is to be creative.  To be creative you must think of the unknown and do something different because when the people around you expect the norm and you do something different, they will be shocked.  This will set you apart from others and make you a more appealing person.   It is important to be creative because people are awed by others who think outside the box.

It is important to understand that in order to be creative you must understand nature and your existence with nature.  Creativity is not about being intellectual or artistic, it is about knowing why you exist.  People are very misguided by this concept and it is important to understand so that we can all be creative by just knowing more about ourselves.  We can apply this in life by just observing nature and our surroundings and seeing how we fit in nature.  Everything comes from nature and we need to take time to make more observations.

Creativity comes from others and nature.  People need to spend more time with others because that is where ideas are formed and grown.

Creativity dies when people lack intensity.  Intensity is what drives the process of creativity, and people need to stop being afraid of failing and just go for it.  In our lives we need to take risks in order to reach what we desire.

Creativity cannot be planned, and in our lives we need to slow down and enjoy the process that we go through in order to be creative.  However do not let the results be what is driving you and just enjoy the journey.

In our daily lives we need to start being the ones who create the instructions.  We need to use our hands and be the inventors and not just follow someone else's plan.  Also, ask questions because that is a sign of creativity and creative thinking.

From viewing this interview, I see how important it is to stop and observe my surroundings. I need to find my place in nature, and I realize that creativity is sparked when you have found your place.
