Are you left-handed? Do you know anyone who is left-handed?

I have a few friends who are left-handed and they're really good in the arts. I mean they draw really well, they can play various musical instruments and they're very creative. Is this generally true or is it just a coincidence that the majority of my artistic friend are left-handed? I'm right-handed and I can't draw to save my life (LOL). Are YOU left-handed too? If not, do you know left-handed people?

I'm right handed, but my son is strongly left-handed ever since birth. He's not really artistic, but very talented in terms of programming and on-line job. He's earning much so as to foot most of the major bills. But I agree that majority of the left handed people are creative and inclined to the arts...

I am not left handed but my brother is left handed. He is the only left handed in our family and he is the only artist in our family too. He has made a charcoal painting of me.

I'm also right-handed, but I know many left-handed friends. Most of them are americans. While I was living in the US I found a lot of american officers writing with their left hand.

I am right handed and so are all my kids. I have a few friends that are left handed as well and a couple of them are very creative and into either drawing or music. I used to draw but then life got busy so I kinda ran out of time so I dont draw too often anymore, unless its sometihng to do with the kids homework or whatever.

I'm not left-handed but my dad is......he was punished as a child in school for writing with his left hand as it was still something odd to people back in those days! Not good that he was punished but in the end it worked out ok as he can write with both hands now!

My wife and I and our son are all left handed. Only my daughter is right handed. Before we were married we were on a ship sailing to South Africa and sitting around a table with six others writing postcards home. Suddenly one of the others broke the silence and said 'Do you realise, we are ALL left handed!'

I know several left handed ppl. A left handed girl I know is a very good artist...however, I also know a young man that is extremely talented in drawing and he's right handed. I know two women, one older and one younger, that have no creative interests that I know of. I know several right handed ppl that are extremely creative too. I think talent is either there or not, regardless of what hand you use. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STANDING STRONG IN MY BELIEFS**[/b]

I am a left-handed person and yes, that's true left-handed people are really artistic and creative. I also have a friend, she's left-handed too. And like me, she knows how to draw and we can draw well. We are also on the field of arts, it's like we're better on arts more than anything, more than maths ans other fields.

As for being able to excel in arts, it depends on one's interest and all ^_^ But when it comes to sports, most left handed or left legged sports person will tend to excel and perform better than those whom are right sided.. haha =D

My first cousin is left handed, as well as a few other people I know personally. I like to see people write with their left hand. Ever since I was yong I've tried to write with my left hand but I can't do it. I eat with my left hand and do other easy things, just can't write.

Actually, I'm not a left-handed person..Although I'm a right-handed person, I really appreciate the unique ways that the left-handed person can do..I have so many friends who are left-handed and I could say they are good in arts, talented in every way and really creative.

I agree with you ajamiro my daughter is very much into the arts and she uses her left hand to write most of the time. I can use both if I choose to but as I was growing up the school had asked me to use my right more than my left so I am not as skilled with my left as with my right. Take care and happy mylotting to you. :)

I also notice that. Most left handed people are really a good artist. They can really draw well. I have left handed friends who are really good in drawing and lettering. Such a talented person they are. I'm a right handed and unfortunately I can't draw as good like them.

No,I'm not.I'm right-handed.I know some of my workmates are left-handed.I have been told that left-handed people are more smart than right-handed people.I think so.The reason maybe is that they always exploit their right brain.I try several times to do everything use my left-handed,but I failed in the end due to I'm not accustomed to it.

i am not left handed. i am right handed. i have herd that left handed people tend to be good at all sports, and better at everything. i think that is because they get screwed over with everything, since most products are made for the majoridy of people, which most people that i know are right handed and only a few are actually left. my left handed friends are good at everything.

Yep, I have known people who are lefties, and man, they are so artistic! I'm a right-handed person, and I don't even know what to do with a paintbrush! Hehehe. I just play the piano, but I have difficulty learning a new instrument.. Well, maybe that's the gift God gave to left-handed people, being able to express well in the arts..=)
