What is lefty
Being left-handed was hard at all times. Left-handedness has always been considered, at best, just a flaw with which it is necessary to fight, and at worst, it was evidence of possession and was punishable by death.
Today, the attitude towards left-handed people has become more tolerant, although not always they have the opportunity to feel fully in this right-sided world. Nevertheless, left-handers are very interesting and gifted people, and a number of facts are indicative of this:
- According to sociologists, the left-handers in the world are about 3-5%.About 5% of the people are ambidextra, that is, they are equally possessing two hands, and the remaining 90% are right-handed people.
- They, as a rule, have good creative abilities and perfectly show themselves in literature, music, philosophy, architecture, individual sports. Lefties were Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, Charlie Chaplin, Marilyn Monroe, Mozart, Beethoven, Pele and many other outstanding representatives of mankind from different eras. Left-handeders have a very delicate and sensitive nature. They are more often right handed to emotional stress and stress.

- In the case of a left-hand injury, such people start using their second hand much faster than right-handers.
- Almost all lefties were retrained in childhood, but, in addition to moral and physical trauma, this measure did not give anything. Many people learned to write with the right hand eventually, but the left hand was still leading.
- The desire of parents to retrain their children and make them use, like everyone else, with their right hand can bring not only moral harm to the kid, but also prevent him from further developing his creative abilities.
