5 Benefits Of Being Left Handed You Didn’t Even Realize

Happy Left-handed day to the lefties in the house!

No doubt, being left-handed is unique. So let’s look at 5 benefits of being left-handed.

1. They have higher odds of being a genius

Researchers aren’t sure why lefties have a better chance at being highly intelligent but some experts think that this may be because lefties are forced to use both sides of their brain more often. How difficult!

2. Athletes have a better advantage

This is especially true in sports like boxing, baseball and tennis. Opponents don’t face left-handed competition often but when they do, it can throw them through a loop. Did you know that Manny Pacquiao is one of the great boxers of all time because his southpaw approach is so hard to defend.

3. They can multitask better

This is another area where researchers aren’t quite sure why, but lefties are better at managing multiple tasks. That could also be due to the fact that they use both sides of their brain. I don’t know but that sounds stressful!

4. They’re amazingly creative

Research has shown that lefties are more likely to make the creative arts a career. So, to those left-handed artists, we deeply appreciate you all for making the world a more aesthetical place to inhabit!

5. They even earn more money

They certainly are really productive. The National Bureau of Economic Research shows that left-handed college grads earn 10-15 percent more money.

Now imagine a world without lefties. A standing ovation for them all please!
