Conquering the world with your “Left Hand”

The world is full of people. Yes there are about 7 billion people in this world. And there is one wish which a majority of people dream about.

What is it??!!

Any guesses??!!

It is the desire to be unique, the desire to be different, the desire to be noticed.

Some people only dream about it. Some people give up in the middle. Only the rarest of people reach the pinnacle of uniqueness.

What does it have to do with me??!!

Well, some people are born different. These are the ones which termed as “Left-Handers”. I am from amongst the 10% of world population.

Yes, these are the people whose dominant side is the left one which is to say that they prefer to do majority of the tasks with their left hand.

History is replete with examples about how the world views people who are different. They are looked down upon by others and always meet with some kind of resistance or the other.

The same goes for the so-called “Lefties” of the world.

The Latin word for Left means “sinister” while for Right, it means “dexter” or skilful.

In social behavioural patterns, passing or serving something with a left hand is considered bad luck. They are considered to be more inclined towards psychotic behaviour and getting angrier easily.

Even blessings are given with the right hand.

Left-handed people are considered to be awkward with tools and other machinery (given that they are designed for right handed use..!!)

However, every cloud has a silver lining.

In spite of all these, we have managed to carve a special place for ourselves in this world.

Lefties are known to be more creative and artistic in nature.

They have a greater chance of being a genius ie higher IQs.

Lefties are good at multitasking.

Some of the famous left-handers in the world are:

Bill gates, Barrack Obama, Amitabh Bachchan, Oprah Winfrey, Aristotle, Alexander the great, Leonardo da Vinci, Marie Curie, etc.

I would like to conclude saying that left handers and right handers are ultimately the 2 sides of the same coin.

Both unique and both having their own pros and cons.

Always value what God has gifted us. It’s not something to be ashamed of or something to worry about. This is what makes us unique and if we value our gift then greatness lies ahead of us, to be conquered by us.

So until the next article,

Stay blessed and be proud to be a LEFTIE..!!
