Am I?

I was discussing with my physio during the treatment this morning as to the possibility why the left muscles of my whole body is generally tighter or problematic than the right. Usually if a person is right handed, naturally the right hand / leg is the master hand / leg. Therefore the tendency for the right side muscles tends to be used more often which would tighten up easier.

I could have been born as a left-hander. And so, it suddenly dawned upon me that I could do quite a no. of things with my left hand, not very well but manageable with conscious efforts. I can write, dribble a basketball, use chopsticks, pour water ... yeah, so what can be too difficult doing this? Curiosity got me and I googled about left-handedness.

Left-handed persons are thought to process information using a "visual simultaneous" method in which several threads can be processed simultaneously. Another way to view this is such: Suppose there were one thousand pieces of popcorn and one of them was colored blue. Right-handed people—using the linear sequential processing style—would look at the popcorn one at a time until they encountered the blue one. The left-handed person would spread out the pieces of popcorn and look at all of them to find the one that was blue. (It sounds quite like what I would do). A side effect of these differing styles of processing is that right-handers need to complete one task before they can start the next. Left-handers, by contrast, are capable and comfortable switching between tasks. This seems to suggest that left-handed people have an excellent ability to multi-task, and anecdotal evidence that they are more creative may stem from this ability to multi-task.

Well, this is only one of the explanations I may not be afterall... hmm... did my parents stuff the pen in my right hand and made me just start with using it?
