Left-handers - heroes of everyday life
About one in ten of us is one: a left-hander. And it's not always easy with that. For this reason, every year on 13th August the International Left-Hander Day draws attention to this minority for about 30 years. Fortunately, the days are over when left-handed children were forcibly retrained to the right and the left hand was generally considered inferior or bad.
But maybe the world would be a little bit happier if we all left more: Eight reasons why left-handers are the better people.
1 .: Left-handers are smarter.
At least there are twice as many left-handers among the smartest of the clever as in the general population. For example, the exceptional physicists Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton were leftists.
2nd: Left-handers have a finer pitch than right-handed people.
You can distinguish pitches better. Maybe that's why we owe so much great music to them: Dylan, Hendrix, McCartney, Bowie, Mozart, Beethoven, and Schumann are just some of the left-handed geniuses.
3 .: Left-handers are more creative.
There are many left-handers among architects and artists. And some of them, such as Michelangelo, were even both: builders and painters and, on top of that, sculptors and poets.
4th: Left-handers are the faster Tippsen.
Because the most frequently used letters A, E, R, S and T are on the left side of the keyboard. So you make more attacks for the same money, and the boss is happy.
5 .: Left-handers are the better athletes.
At least in some sports more than half of the top athletes are left-handed: in tennis or fencing, for example.
This is probably because their right-handed opponents are getting along worse with the left play and therefore often lose out.
6th: Left-handers recover faster after brain injuries and strokes.
Probably because the halves of the brain work more together with left-handers, damage on the one hand can be compensated for by the other.
7 .: Left-handers are more adaptable.
They are almost heroes of everyday life, because they have to work permanently in a right-dominant world. If you are a right-handed person wondering why left-handers sometimes seem a bit clumsy, you may want to tinker with left-handed scissors and ruler or try to reach the ravioli with a left-handed can opener. This is anything but easy from the hand.
8 .: Left-handers feed more often vegetarian than right-handed.
That says at least one study. Nobody knows why this is so. But it's still good: our climate is so much less burdening them.
And otherwise?
The following study results will be on this day of honor simply times generously under the table:
Also among the mentally handicapped one finds increasingly left-handed people. Left-handers are more likely schizophrenic than right-handed. They smoke more often and more. Are more dyslexic. And apparently marry less often, get fewer children and some statistics are also rather criminal.
