Left-handed Geniuses c

Q
t-,Iartists Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo were both left-handed, ES was
the scientist lsaac Newton. And from the world of music ,l,lozart, Beethoven,
Jimi Hendrix, and Paul McCartney are among those also known as "lefties."

Why are some people left-handed and others right-handed? Medical

researchers believe that people are left-handed only by chance. Studies have
shown that about 1 in 10 people are left-handed.

So, is there a connection between creative genius and left-handedness? ln my €

opinion, there is at least one clear connection. Left-handers encounter many
difficulties in their daily lives. Most machines and tools, such as scissors or
ll
computers, are designed for right-handers. As a left-handed person myself, I
feel that "lefties" have to struggle to do normal things that right-handed people
find quite easy. l'm convinced that learning to overcome these problems
makes us work harder-and being able to work hard is an important part'Of
becoming successful

in the text that helped you decide.
