After a long study on left handers around the globe and especially those around me, i realised that most are born between december to end of feb - most being aquarius, and I am one of these.
24 hours more to my birthday and i decide to post something on life being a left-handers, the challenges and what to expect of us.
According to research, 10% of the world population are left-handed who are mostly right-brained personnel, i wont go into details what right-brained means.However, most of us do share common attributes such as always late, untidy yet being able to think out of the box.
Quite a handful of my friends who are left-handed are quite good in art, creative in thoughts, some of whom currently work as designers (i.e. graphic designers or interior designers) - but i am not one though!
Being left-handed at times is very painful, such as pencil mark on our hand after writing (from left to right), got to adapt to some right-hand designed rifles, tools etc. It is no coincidence that some of us can use both hands to write or even play pool or any other sports. It is because in many occasions, we are forced to use our weaker hand to work or do stuffs.
Despite the above struggles, I am still proud to be different, think different. Many chinese would say left handers are intelligent. The truth is LH thinks differently and process information we gotten differently, and that does not mean we are intelligent. Still, there are alot of scientists, lawyers or CEOs are right handed.
Being a left-handed myself, i am not really good at designing although I am quite particular in designs. I get 'high' for seeing something different, out-of-the-box or well designed. But i guess, i am creative in a different way compared to other lefties. I design systems that are to be used by businesses and i love the smile my clients give when they are satisfied with my work. I cant help but to think of ways to improve the design or think of new and creative ideas to boost either my business or software (new or existing).
I get bored quite soon after engaging or focusing on 1 project pretty soon (if u consider 1 year is soon), therefore, every single day i will create new challenges for myself; most people would say I am creating more problems for myself each day.
Truth of the matter is, I am not really bothered by what others might say even though I love having a friendly and constructive debate over my ideas. One thing I am sure is, if you want to succeed in life, dont care what others will say, simply because it is impossible to please everyone and they will not criticize you when u suceed. Some may even say "I've told you it will work", when obviously, they are the most harsh towards you when u started.
To conclude, I would say to all lefties out there, don't be push back by what the world may say about you. Think what u like to think and do what u like to do.
Have an aim and go all out for that, of course, you must put hard work and pain into it. Make it a success to shut the doubters mouth once and for all!
Lastly, Happy early birthday to myself =)
