I was born left-handed. and during my 19 years of life, discrimination against left-handed people are still exist. :(
The left hand was attached to the assumption 'the devil's hand' or 'damn hands'.And since young, parents have taught their children to always use the right hand to do things better.

but that's not true~
According to Scientific American, there are about 15 percent of people actively using the left hand or left-handed. The reason some people are left-handed is not entirely clear, depending on the mix of genetic and environmental factors.
A study published in the journal Neuropsychology indicate that left-handed people process some stimuli more quickly than people who use your right hand. It also makes the left-handed people more creative. Research conducted at the Australian National University (ANU) seem to support previous studies indicating that the habit of using right or left hand are determined from the womb.
And as quoted from eHow, Monday (05/24/2010), left-handed people tend to be more athletic, has a better spatial awareness and think faster. According to a study conducted by Dr. Alan Searleman from St. Lawrence University in New York, show that lefty is capable of supporting the left side of his body for all physical activities. Southpaw also two times more skilled in problem solving and has an IQ higher than active people with the right hand.
Some famous left-handed people like President George HW Bush, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, Prince Charles and Prince William of England. Musician Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain and Paul McCartney. Scientist Isaac Newton, Marie Curie and Benjamin Franklin. Artists from Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci, and historical figures Alexander the Great, Charlemagne and Julius Caesar.

Results showed that left-handed people more quickly and creatively because it uses both hemispheres of the brain, unlike the people who used to use his right hand which only uses the left brain. The two hemispheres of the brain actually almost the same, and mostly for processing the same information, with data passing back and forth between them, especially through the major neural pathways. However, certain tasks, such as language processing, tend to occur in one hemisphere only.For most people, language processing occurs on the left.
For left-handed people, these tasks may occur in both hemispheres. Another specialty is the processing of sensory data, usually data collected on the right side of the body, such as the right eye, right ear, and others, will go to the left hemisphere for processing. And vice versa, the data collected in the left hemisphere will be heading the right hemisphere. This study shows that left-handed people who used to write with his left hand might have a brain that is more conducive to simultaneous or stimulation and processing in both parts of the brain.Southpaw easier to use both hemispheres of the brain to manage the stimulus, so that the entire process and faster response time.
This also means that when one hemisphere of the brain gets overloaded and starts to slow, the other hemisphere could more easily choose to fill that void. The experts also theorize that the left-handed people are mentally better when in old age and when the brain as a whole began to wane.

So for all those lefties out there, do not be embarrassed because you are someone who is left-handed. right and left hand are the same. equally god's creation. :)
