Multimedia 9/9/19 (Cuero)

          After watching the Dr. Cuero video, I found his background and success very interesting. When Dr. Cuero was young, he would look through scraps and picked up all the books and magazines he could find. He did this because he wanted to learn how to read and write. His father pretended that he knew how to read and write, but Cuero actually wanted to be able to do it. In the meantime, Cuero played basketball in order to receive a scholarship to grant himself higher education. While he was playing basketball, Cuero was looked at differently, but he continued to play on the court in order to have value through education in the future. After school, he created nine scientific inventions and wrote a book to teach people that no matter what ethnic background someone is from, they can still succeed. While watching the video, I learned that you should do what your passionate about and not let anyone else influence your thoughts and path. I also learned that creativity is how you perceive nature in your own existence. However, in order to be creative, you need to create many questions. Overall, I agree with how Dr. Cuero explained creativity and how to find it. However, I do not agree with Cuero's statement that parents should sacrifice some of their income in order to be involved in their child's schooling. I do not agree with this because some parents may not make enough to have the opportunity to give up some of their income. So for Cuero to say this, I do believe that his comment only pertains to a certain group of people.
         As for the creativity article, I enjoyed it very much. I found it very interesting that there are different parts of the brain that are responsible for creative thinking. However, I do feel that the article could have done a better job of explaining how to evoke creative thinking. Even though we now know where creative thinking takes place in the brain, we don't know how to stimulate those parts of the brain to help create creative thoughts.
