Sparking Creativity: Raul Cuero Interview

"Out of difficulties grow miracles"  -Jean De La Bruyere

Raul Cuero's interview, on Living Smart, about creativity was powerful and inspirational. Cuero focuses on the idea and importance of creativity in society and how his creativity was sparked at such a young age. I was captivated by two important concepts: 1) creativity is not based on art or design,  and 2) "Good things take time".

1. CREATIVITY is NOT based on art: Cuero emphasized that creativity doesn't come from art but it is based off the unknown, unexpected: doing something that no one expects from you. Creativity has to do with how you perceive nature in relation to life. It is important that in life we make observations in nature. Everything, every idea, every concept, derives from nature. It is also important to communicate with others through common conversation and interactions because most ideas emerge from discussing other ideas and/or concepts.

2. "Good things take time": Cuero states how most people rush to a solution or looks for the easy fix. It is important to work through the process. In life, everything you do will have a process. It is within the process, where you will find ideas, answers and solutions. Consider it to be a step-by-step advantage.
