Tout d'abord, je ne suis pas gauchère. Je ne vais pas être radiée parce que je prétends l'être 😉. Mon homme est gauchère, lui. On est ensemble depuis 18 ans, alors j'ai entendu ses histoires d'adaptation à un monde de droitiers et on lui a dit : « Utilise juste ton autre main ».
Aujourd'hui, c'est la Journée internationale des gauchers. C'est la 32e célébration annuelle de tout ce qui touche aux gauchers.
18.14 - Sone famous lefties include Barack Obama, Paul McCartney, Jimi Hendrix, Leonardo da Vinci, Oprah Winfrey, Bill Clinton, Justin Beiber. Keanu Reeves, Buzz Aldrin, Babe Ruth, Bill Gates, David Bowie... and Ned Flanders of the Leftorium 😉
Hurray for all the lefties! That graphic about the smudge is awesome!
Non sono mancina ma ne conosco molti
18.26 ‐ You should impress them with your knowledge of all things "lefty" next year. Have fun with it!
18.27 - “Life without left-handed people wouldn’t be right.” — C.R. Manske. Well that is just plain logical!
18.28 - “If the left half of the brain controls the right half of the body then only left handed people are in the right mind.” — W.C. Fields. This phenomenon is called contralateral organization. It is a real thing.
18.29 - “God made everyone right-handed, only the truly gifted overcome it.” — Anonymous. This is s funny saying.
18.30 - “Lefties – in great demand but limited supply!” — Anonymous. Research suggests roughly 10-12% of the population is lefthanded.
18.31 - “Damned infernal gizmo. My kingdom for a left-handed can opener.” — Montgomery Burns. The Simpsons is truly where I learned about lefthandedness. I wonder if the Leftorium is a real store, either IRL or web-based.
18.32 - “When nothing goes right… go left.” — Anonymous. I mean, what other choice do you have?
18.33 - “All the decisive blows are struck left-handed.” — Walter Benjamin. I wonder if this is true, or still true? Anyone know of any examples to illustrate this?
18.34 - “The left-handed are precious; they take places which are inconvenient for the rest.” — Victor Hugo. Thank you lefties, for boldly going where the rest of us won't.
18.35 - “Two and a half thousand left-handed people are killed every year using things made for right-handed people.” — Maggie O’Farrell. I sincerely hope this is hyperbole!
18.36 - “I scan the room. Catherine is writing quickly, her light brown hair falling over her face. She is left-handed, and because she writes in pencil her left arm is silver from wrist to elbow.” — Sara Gruen, Water for Elephants. This quote goes (left) hand in (left) hand with the "embrace your smudge" poster.
18.37 - “Left-Handers are not different because they are unique; They are unique because they are different.” — Peter-Cole C. Onele. We should all aspire to be unique like this.
18.38 - “Left handers don’t just write differently, we also think differently.” — Anonymous. This is true! I will post another posting shortly about this. Stay tuned 😉.
18.39 - “It’s a left handed thing…you wouldn’t understand.” — All Left Handed People. I think all groups of people utilize this saying to justify their own perspective.
18.40 - The lefty quotes and attached black box graphics of said quotes came from the following website. I omitted a few. https://leftyfretz.com/14-inspirational-left-handed-quotes/
