If u ask me where's my left or right,I look at both of my palms b4 confirming where's my left or right. Back in school during engineering drawing,my drawing always go in d opposite direction with others no matter how I try 2 because I draw wit both hands at once.I'm ambidextrous n I love it. My left is active in some things while d right is active in others. A glass could slip off my right hand while drinking beer because somehow it just feels heavy but my left can hold it very well even If I drink a whole truck load of liquor. I was almost beaten once 4 drinking liquor wit my left hand. D idiot traditionalist said it's only spiritualists n native doctors dat drink 4rm their left.

Proudly left handed!

Oh please! Intelligence isn't a function of which hand dominates. See people here claiming left-handed people are naturally intelligent. That's not true. I know dull lefties and I know dull righties.

Motor coordination is not the same as IQ.

MightySparrow: God designed everything living in pairs, so are some parts of our bodies.
I am right handed, I trained my self to use the left hand and leg and I use them fairly well.
I take the advantage of knowledge that you can dictate what you want to the brain and not the other way round.




If you say I'm ambidextrous, you are right, but not natural by training.

1stola: Lefties are supposed to be intelligent since people
attributes rightness to everything right and lefties
use their right side of their brain more...
am a proud leftie....bt there are some itches...e.g wen i attended a lec...i couldnt sit aniwhere cos i wouldnt allow the next persn write well..so i always sat @ the left edge...but using the computer...u can use ur mouse n write as well with ur lefthand....

Re: Right Handedness VS Left Handedness. by Nobody: 3:08pm On Aug 12, 2014
when i was younger i deliberately trained my left foot because i wanted to be like roberto carlos grin

it made me very versatile but other than that... not much difference.

apparently though, using your lefts for things usually done with the rights and vice versa can help increase your intelligence.

Fresia01: in Psycholinguistics,, it is asserted dat those who are right handed are more intelligent and live longer than those who are left handed... buh i have actually seen left handed people who are more intelligent than dia right handed counterparts!!!! left handed guys are sexy!!! majid,.Mike Ezuronye, Micheal Scufield,, john Dumelo jus to mention buh a few ,,, proudly right handed!!!
left handed people are just 10% of the population yet they consisted more than 45% in designing the Macintosh operating system and are in considerable number in NASA.

It is you who needs to respect the left handed people. There's nothing weird in their way of thinking.

QMark: Most left-handed females I have met are very intelligent. Maybe it was just coincidence.


What do you mean by *maybe it was just a coincidence* Are you as intelligent as they?

dre11: Am a righty...
But, most lefty friends i do have, have this fine handwritting dat i do admire....


I think parents wanting thier kids to change to righty has to do with cultural/traditional norms.
Apart from that....... i don't see any reason why u have to change them for who they are........
They are just using the left side of their brain more

Is it REALLY against the cultural/traditional norms for someone to be a left handed individual? Where did you get that from?

Interesting. I'll love to buy you beer someday so I can watch while sipping mine of course, how you drink yours with the left hand. I admire a lady who's bold and natural.

These were your exact words:

*I think parents wanting thier kids to change
to righty has to do with cultural/traditional
norms.
Apart from that....... i don't see any reason
why u have to change them for who they
are........*

My question once again to you is, is being a left handed individual really against the cultural/traditional norms? Or are the parents who try to discourage their children from using their left hands doing so in ignorance?

I'll advise that u also read through again this time, in English language and not in pidgin.

Now I am convinced you are smoking something. Only that I don't know what it is.
