So finally I end up with those frustrating 4:00 am to
2:00 PM morning shift days and obviously with some unpredictable way of taking
out my frustration (Some of you have thoroughly observed it). Again I
am searching for some crap thing over net(this bing search engine is too
unnerving). This time it is something that make me feel how outstanding I am!!
One really interesting factoid that I picked up was that
left handed people tended to be more independent as a result of having to adapt
to a world which is largely built for right handed individuals. Haha… Did I?
May be it was not a big deal for me!!
BTW something problematic for me are struggling with binders, bumping elbow with righties at dining time(it is indeed too irritating), school desks, dealing with scissors, butter knives, f**king right sided number pad on keyboard and most
importantly the shocking scientific facts that lefties are prone to dying
sooner. WTH..
Whatever… Even if the world is cruel to us, my B positive blood group made
me transpire some advantages of being lefty.
So here we go....
- Left-handers are more likely to pass their driver's test on the first try. (Except for India driver’s test is actually the driver’s test so don’t mistake this fact for lefties having good relation with RTO officers.)
- They are also more apt to be a part of Mensa, the world's largest and oldest high IQ society. This is because studies have shown lefties are more likely to have an IQ score above 131. (as in Pune-times Mensa... right??)
- Lefties are great at competitive sports. They make especially good baseball players, tennis players, swimmers, boxers and fencers (OK… this is not for me but... ya I may have been a international level polo player
(I wish I were allowed...)) - Left handers recover from strokes faster. (OMG…) And are also more likely to pursue creative careers
(Shit... IT professionalism is not at all. ) - Of the seven most recent U.S Presidents, 4 have been left handed, including Bush Sr., Bill Clinton and Obama.(No comments... who knows some day India will have Krishna!!)
- Left handed college graduates go on to become 26% richer than right handed graduates. (Haha... 0.74*mySalary= (how do you manage guys?))
- Lefties can clearly see the world underwater. Scientists think it has something to do with a different part of the brain being central in left handed individuals. (Ya that is indeed true. BTW what does that mean?)
- Research shows lefties are smarter in math because their brains are more flexible.(Here it is…)
- Left handers process things faster than righties and can multitask easier thanks to connections between the right and left sides of the brain being faster in left-handed people.(Yeah engineering taught me to message and make professor feel that I am getting him at the same time. I guess this has nothing to do with being lefty…)
- Left-handed people easily hear rapidly changing sounds. (Righties... don’t you??)
- And left-handed individuals have better memories. (Of course that is not advantageous quite often…)
