Raul Cuero Response

Raul grew up in a very poor lifestyle. He struggled with prejudice and being accepted in his culture. He ends up becoming a brilliant scientist and has a lot of concepts and thoughts that he brings up during this interview. Raul makes a point that creativity has nothing to do with art or being intellectually advanced but it in fact has to do with how you proceed with nature in relation with yourself. In order to do this, you have to be a good observant with nature. It has nothing to do with the lifestyle you have grown into. There is no advantage for those who are financially more stable. For instance, take a look at Raul. He struggled financially and became a brilliant man. Everything comes from nature. Ideas come from interaction from other ideas. The issue is the technology that people are using. There is no interaction with one another due to technology. Another important concept by Raul is doing everything with intensity. At first I was a little confused what this meant. As he began to talk more about this it made sense. You have to be committed to focus on compromise without fear. So many people are afraid of failing. You have to be intense at whatever you do because the intensity is what makes you feel complete in creating a process. This moves onto Raul's next concept; process. Everything is a process because its within the process where you find ideas, problems, and solutions. You cannot plain creativity. You must enjoy the process in order to experience the creativity. Learning by doing is important to create new ideas. Children and some adults today have a problem with following instructions but not being able to play with nature. Playing with nature allows you to improve and create new thinking. Raul confronts a problem with America's education. The intellectual academics has been lost. This is due to the lack of communication in the family. Raul briefly talks about this but at the end of the discussion, I am still lost with this part of the interview. Overall, Raul makes valid points in his discussion of all of these concepts.
