Raul Cuero's Interview about Creativity

Raul Cuero defines creativity as "changing the expectations, by you doing something that the other person expects you cannot do."  He gave an example of this by talking about how he didn't have many friends to go out with as a child and he was raised with no toys, so he would sit around his grandmothers house and watch the roaches.  As he grew older he started to study the roaches behavior.  

Cuero also defines creativity as how you perceive nature in relation with you existence.  In order to perceive nature, you have to be a good observer.  Every single day we as human beings are out in nature.  The more we're in nature, the more we gain more of a creative sense in a way.  So in our everyday lives, if we just stop and pay attention to the nature around us, Cuero suggests that this well help give us a more creative mindset.  Cuero says two problems we have that limit our creativity are that one, we are spending too much time with technology, and that is limiting our time spent outdoors and with nature; and two, people of today's day are communicating too much over technology rather than face to face.  If we wanted to become more creative in Raul Cuero's mind, we would have to spend less of our day inside with technology, and more with nature.  With that comes more communication with our peers face to face.  Both of these ideas are quick changes that are easily applicable in our daily lives.
