While I may have failed to find information on Delgado, Raul Cuero was less than difficult. Cuero was born in Colombia in 1948, growing up in a largely impoverished household. Overcoming prejudice while playing basketball, he accepted an opportunity in America and is now a successful microbiologist, using intellect and creativity to invent over 9 applications, such as a product for cleaning oil spills or containing harmful bacteria.
When it comes to creativity, Dr. Cuero says that environment, ethnicity, and IQ are irrelevant. All that matters are having a universal consciousness (ignoring how others see you based on local attitudes), along with keeping an open mind about nature and the outside world. Inspiration can come from anything, not just a computer. Ideas come from conversation, and the best ones happen face-to-face, not phone-to-phone.
There is much wisdom from Dr. Cuero that can be used in the everyday. Staying true to yourself and not letting the world decide who you are is one thing. Another is keeping an open mind about one's surroundings, an appreciation for the natural world, and unending passion for what you want to get out of life.
Everything is a process. The only question is, do you have the will to do it?
