The interview with Raul Cuero, a successful inventor, scientist, philospher, and author from Colombia was very interesting. Cuero opened my mind to a much broader and healthier outlook on life. In the interview, he explains how he became so successful, and gives great insight from his experiences he's faced and learned along the way. From his biography to his advice on creativity and living your best life, his words were very moving.
There was so much he talked about that seemed very helpful to take into consideration and implement into my own life. There were even instances he brought up that directly involve and influence me in my daily life. For example, his response when asked about the problem with the school system in America; Raul believes the education system in the US is struggling because of our attitudes towards school. Most schools nowadays use many electronics in the classroom as way of learning; however, Cuero believes that people are reading much less now and trying to learn by doing instead of reading, which he believes to be one of the problems. Children, and even adults are also facing limited creativity due to the luxury we are born into. We grow up with electronics and video games and less social interaction rather than with toys and playing together or in nature, and he thinks this may explain why humans are becoming less creative.
It is also very important to have a universal or open attitude in life. Cuero talked about the way that you perceive nature or see yourself in nature is important to understanding life and succeeding to the best of our abilities. Nothing in life is given, and there is a process to achieve your goals. The process may be long or difficult, but to understand that it will take time or be challenging, and to make the most of it and enjoy is the key to being happy and successful, no matter who you are or what situation. Spirituality is important for happiness regardless of how much or little you have, as long as your spirit is high and you enjoy/try and find the best in everything. I could tell how happy and peaceful Dr. Cuero is by watching the interview and listening to his insightful words. This was very thought-provoking and immediately had me thinking and evaluating his words and my life, and how I can implement his tips to my life.
