  • Rights of Lefties.

  • What do Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci, Julius Caesar, and Napoleon have in common?

  • They were all left-handed!

  • Beginning early in history, southpaws were feared, neglected, and punished...

  • ...because use of the left hand was considered evil.

  • In fact, the Latin word for "left" is "sinister".

  • Due to this prejudice against the left, left-handed people were forced to switch hands.

  • This change caused many problems for lefties in school,...

  • ...which resulted in frustration, bad behavior, and high dropout rates.

  • Maybe that is why lefties were stereotyped as unintelligent,...

  • ...an idea that could not be further from the truth.

  • Researchers studying the brain have found differences in the left side and right side of the brain.

  • Researchers believe that people who use more of the left side of their brain tend to be more intelligent.

  • They also tend to use language better and solve problems faster.

  • However, one study also showed that left-brain people tend to have worse memories.

  • So, which side of the brain do lefties use?

  • Actually, both.

  • Right-handed people use the left side of the brain more,...

  • ...whereas left-handed people use both sides of the brain almost equally.

  • The part connecting the two halves of the brain is usually larger in left-handed people.

  • Therefore, information can pass more efficiently from one side of the brain to the other.

  • The left hemisphere of the brain controls speech, language, writing, logic, mathematics, and science.

  • The right hemisphere controls music, art, creativity, perception, and emotion.

  • Since lefties use both sides, they are often both creative and scientific.

  • Approximately ten percent of the world is left-handed...

  • ...and the ratio of left-handed males to left-handed females is two to one.

  • Thankfully, parents and teachers no longer treat left-handedness as a problem to be cured.

  • It may actually contribute to a child's excellence!

  • If allowed to learn and develop in their own way, lefties will excel in school.

  • Perhaps one of these lefties might turn out to be the next Einstein or da Vinci.

      I'm a leftie myself! Was Einstein really a leftie? All the photos that I found tell a different story...

      Even though I use both, I am not intelligent, which is very sad.
