Do you use your left hand often?

Hi Sredith, I am so glad to hear that. And you have a good teacher, I think all praise makes us more confident and getting better and better. Happy mylotting.

Hi CraftyCorner, I am sorry that that and with my best wishes to you. Happy mylotting.

I have good handwriting but I am absolutely hopeless at trying to write with my left hand because I have always written with my right hand and have never needed to use my left hand for writing whereas for other things I have needed to use my left hand like when playing Basketball. Nobody seriously plays it with only one hand, that just would not work. I also use both hands when I am carrying shopping bags.

Hi Mohdehtesham, thanks for your sharing. Of course, smart or not is not only decided by left or right handed. Anyway, I think it's good to balance it, I would like to practice both left and right hand, then our brain can get fully exercised.

Hi Jackie, thanks for your sharing. The third example is amazing! Practice makes perfect, if you keep on playing on it, I believe, one day you can do it as well. Happy mylotting.

Hi Yuhong, I come from China also and understand the situation you are talking about. We used to have big family, when we have dinner, we occupied the full round table, so it do disturb the people on your right. Nowadays, usually there has not so many people in a family, so it's no problem la. Happy mylotting.

I think young children tend to use either hand randomly; it's only when they're a bit older that they begin to favour one or the other. It'll be interesting to see whether you'll make any difference in the long term.

Hi Mcrowl, thanks for your sharing. My kid is only 11 months old, he always play with two hands, when I give him things, I purposely approach his left hand, and when he is getting to play something with one hand only, I can tend to switch things to his left hand on purpose.

I can keep you informed when I have findings : )

Hello jscaz, about the art 'thing', I don't think I'm creative enough to do arts. But editing photo using software, yes I could. Hehe.... Karen, I also use my left foot for anything. Even I start to put in my left shoes first before right. But, using right hand to eat, my mom teach me how. Happy MyLotting to jscaz & karen!

Hi Jscaz, That's true. Thanks for your imput. Happy mylotting. Hi Nuar, On the contrary, I use my right hand often, but left foot.

when you eat food, why you are using your right hand? You are a left hand person,I think you must have a great skill in art or music,because I have learned that those people who are left hand ,may cultivate in their art cells. Have a good time!

One thing I have heard is that if you are a right handed person , your left brain works more & if you are left handed your right brain works more & just imagine if you are ambidextrous , both sides of the brain work & you might be smarter than those who are not ambidextrous.

Hi Krupesh, you can prove it by yourself : ) No one can better understand you than yourself. In my opinion, you are a careful person who can always find out suprise. : )

I have a six year old daughter who is left handed and speaks with big words. She is very bright, amazes her teachers, very loving and caring to everyone but she is also quite aware of who comes to her with bad intentions and who is good. It is amazing. I have no trouble choosing friends if she sees them. I can't say that about dating as I keep men away from my home until I am sure he is the right person for me. I lie and say I live with my strict parents and don't like to be disturbed. I actually live alone. LOL!!!!!!!

Hi Vanitasuri & Francisfour, Nice to meet you and thanks for your response. Happy mylotting.

Hi Grace, I wish I can use both of left and right hand flexible like you. so my left and right brain can fully developed. Don't be modest, tell us if you think you are smart : ) I am actually not willing to force kids to do that, as my son is only 11 months old, I think I can lead him on somewhere that is good for him.

hhehe... oh gosh... i dont really think im that smart... now m blushing...

nice, ambidextrous. well, i can't say i am one as well because, correct me if i'm wrong, being ambidextrous means you can do the things your right hand can do with your left hand, and vice-versa. But in my case, i can do things on my right hand and i can do things on my left hand. i mean, there are certain thing that i can do with my right hand better, like writing, brushing my teeth, etc. but there are things that my left hand can do better like typing (i can type faster with my left hand than my right) or combing my hair (i actually have a hard time using my right hand and can't comb it the way i want to). And yeah, it really is an advantage when you can do things with your both hands. I play basketball, so i know how its like if you can only play using your dominant hand, because for experienced players, you are at a disadvantage. The same goes with this, being able to use your right and left hand and utilize it can bring you good, positive and productive results.

Hi Elenyae,it's sure that not all left-handed are smater than right-handers. I do believe in some aspect, left-handed are doing good than our right-handers. As they use their right brain more than us and left and right brain have their different functions. Btw, my left foot are flexible than my right one too. : )

I'm right-handed like you and I can't do much with my left hand either. Years ago, I noticed that my left arm was a bit more puny than the right one, so I started to make it my policy to always carry my heavy shopping bags in my left hand, to try and build my arm up. I've been doing this for years now, to the point where a bag feels funny in my right hand. You should try it so you even up a bit! My left arm is definitely firmer these days.

I think it's simply difficult for a left-handed person in this right-handed world. Therefore, left-handed children had to work their mind a lot harder than their right-handed counterparts in order to adapt in this world. So they tend to be more well-rounded. So I can see why people might think left-handedness makes a person smarter. Personally, I'm a self-proclaimed genius at mathematics and logic-based subjects, and I also happen to be left-handed.

Hi Ikbooi, you are right. It's good to encourage kids to use both hands. Thanks for your advice and happy mylotting.

I am right hand also. Sometimes, I will try to use my left hand to handle the mouse, send messages with my cell phone too. Happy mylotting.

you are a clever one to have a exercise in your brain. When I use the mobile phone and send the messages ,I will use my left hand and then I can make my right brain agility. have a great day!

Hi Resssaaa, Thanks for your advice and happy malotting.

Hi Misisbau, that's good. I do not use my left hand to write, and now I even seldom to write. Most frequently, I type in my computer. Happy mylotting.

Hi Gautam, good point, yes, being a great person depends on the work you do not on the hand you use. Anyway, I hope my son to be smarter, in that way, less effort can make him the same success as others, or same effort can make hime more successful.

Hi Lazuardhi, yes, we can never judge someone is smart or not just by which hand he/she dominantly use. Happy mylotting.
