Being a lefty, in a country like India is thought to be bad. Children who are born lefty are forced to use their right hand in many households but lefty is not after all that bad. We have got some very famous men who are lefty. The recent among them is Barack Obama and closer home we have the legendary Amitabh Bachchan.

Lefties are gifted with some traits like -

1.Artistic – It has been noticed that lefties are more artistic. They are very good at musical instruments, painting, sculpturing etc. It is a believe without any perfect explanation. The logical reason could be that the product of the left hand is different from the right and thus people like the difference.

2.Leadership – Almost 66% of American Presidents have been left handed including Barack Obama. This cannot be a coincidence. The leadership is an outcome of their ability to think big. They generally don't like to follow the regular lifestyle. They want to bring in changes, go for experiments and rule to the best of their ability.

3.Charismatic – Lefties are very attractive and has a charisma which they wear everywhere. They are easily noticed and they know how to handle the attention.

4.Independence – It has been noticed that lefties are people of independent thoughts. They are resistant to regular social norms. They like to live their own life without any rules and regulations.

5.Using The Right Hand – Generally people who use the right hand find it very difficult to use their left for work but on the other hand lefties are very comfortable in using their right hand for different purposes.

So, mothers who are trying their best to get their lefty child to use their right hand, think about it again. You may be taking away some of his good traits.
