Have you ever known a left-handed person? I myself am right-handed and have no problem finding all of the products that I need because most are geared towards the right hand, but I have known lefties and they seem to struggle a little with some everyday tasks.
However, they also tend to be more independent because they have spent their whole lives adapting to this right-handed world that we live in. For that reason, let’s get to know these lefties a little more. Here are some fascinating facts:
1. Between 5-10% of the population are left-handed.

2. Lefties are three times more likely to become alcoholics.

3. They mostly use the right side of the brain.

4. They reach puberty between 4-5 months later than others.

5. They are good at baseball, tennis, swimming, and boxing. Up to 40% of the best tennis players are lefties.


6. 4 out of 7 of our recent presidents have been left-handed.

7. College graduates who are left-handed become 26% richer than right-handed ones.

8. Back in the day, if you were left-handed you might have been accused of having a nasty habit, the mark of the devil, a sign of neurosis, being rebellious and capable of criminality and/or being homosexual. Sometimes, however, it indicated creativity and musical abilities.

9. The word left come from the Anglo-Saxon word lyft, which means broken or weak.

10. Older women who are over 40 years of age are 128% more likely to give birth to a left-handed baby than a woman in her 20’s.

11. Cats, rats and mice are equally left and right-handed even though around 90% of all humans are right-handed.

12. Lefties tend to be better in math and architecture while right-handed people are more verbally talented.

13. One out of four of the Apollo astronauts was left-handed.

14. Around 30 million people in the United States are left-handed.

15. Lefties are more susceptible to allergies and asthma than right-handed people.

16. Left-handed people have an easier time adjusting to using their right hand if something happens to their left.

17. These are the longest words that can be typed using only the left hand: sweater dresses and tesserae decades.

18. The British Royal Family have some lefties: the Queen’s Mother, Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, and Prince William.

19. Left-handed people are more likely to suffer from insomnia.

20. August 13th is International Left-Handers Day.

21. The Boston Strangler, Osama Bin Laden, and Jack The Ripper were left-handed.

22. Left-handed people can see underwater better than right-handed people.

23. Left-handed people tend to get angry faster than the rest. John McEnroe is left-handed. Case closed

i doubt there were hundreds or thousands of studies to confirm most of this. obviously, whether or not a particular person is left-handed doesn't need much proof
ReplyDeleteI doubt your doubt because studies bare confirm anything. They are the results of financial strivings.
DeleteCommon sense is barely paricipating when studies are spoken of and as I just said, Studies tend to result in the way the financiers want them to result.
it has logical explanation. Using your left hand activates the muscles on the right side of your body and using your right hand activates the muscles on the left side of your body. RIght side is creative and left side is analitic. The greats do it as good with both. It's something you can teach yourself to do. 90% are right handed today because the society decided this. You can control analitical humans easier than creative humans.
DeleteHOW TO GET YOUR DIVORCE EX HUSBAND & WIFE BACK BEFORE XMAS
DeleteI want to really use this medium to thank powerful Dr. Ugo wonders for helping me get my broken home back after my husband of 18 years left me for another lady. Two months ago my Husband filed for a divorce through his lawyer when we had no issues at all. i was surprised because our family was a very happy one with three beautiful kids that even neighbors were jealous of us. i never knew a girl he met at the mall cast a spell on him so he will love her alone and forget about his family. i tried all ways to reach him and make peace ordinarily but i could not because the potency of the spell was so high on him that he could not even get himself. a friend of mine who felt pity for me introduced me to Dr. Ugo through his email ( generalspelltemple@gmail.com ) so i contacted Dr. Ugo and told him all about my marital problem. He assured me that he will help me and that my husband will be back to me in 24 hours, i trusted him because he had worked for my friend who wont stop testifying about him. To my greatest surprise, after 24 hours of contacting Dr. Ugo, my husband called me to start begging and immediately came back to us and now we are happy family again. i cant stop thanking Dr. Ugo wonders and i advice anyone out there with any relationship or marriage problem to contact him immediately for help through his email generalspelltemple@gmail.com or call his mobile

Notice how President Obama holds his hand when he writes. That's because teachers insist that the paper slant to the right when learning to write so we lefties had no choice but to bunch up our hands.
ReplyDeleteWhat about "stewardesses"?
ReplyDeleteI've been hearing that people being more "right-brained" or "left-brained" is a myth- one source I remember was a person who studied the correlation between language & neurology on a word origin podcast, 'The Allusionist'
ReplyDeleteit has logical explanation. Using your left hand activates the muscles on the right side of your body and using your right hand activates the muscles on the left side of your body.
