International Left Handers Day is an international day observed annually on August 13 to celebrate the uniqueness and differences of left-handed individuals. The day was first observed in 1976 by Dean R. Campbell founder of the Left-handers Club.
Studies suggest that approximately 90% of people are right-handed. Left-handedness is less common. Studies suggest that approximately 10% of people are left-handed.
Making up 10 percent of the population, left-handed people excel in various areas, including art, music, mathematics and sports like baseball and tennis. They even have a higher likelihood of becoming astronauts!.
There are some aboriginal tribes in Australia who have about 70% of their population being left-handed. It’s also more than 50% for some South American tribes.
Top 8 famous left-handed people: Barack Obama. (In the past hundred years, the U.S. presidency has veered more and more to the left — not in policy, but in handedness.) Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Babe Ruth,
Napoleon Bonaparte, Leonardo da Vinci., Marie Curie and Aristotle. and Steve Harvey!
Left-handed people are said to be good at complex reasoning, resulting in a high number of lefty Noble Prize winners, writers, artists, musicians, architects and mathematicians. Left-handed people have divergent thinking which means they will look at a problem with a bird’s eye view and form several possibilities of solutions rather than countering the problem with one logical black-and-white solution.
