As Daniel Pink and others would similarly put it,
"Logical and precise, left-brain thinking gave us the Information Age.
Now comes the Conceptual Age - ruled by artistry, empathy, and emotion."



So, which or how much of a combination are you?



If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.
Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise
though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

I tried to concentrate and see it turning anti-clockwise
But all it gave me was a headache.
So, I tried this test instead, Are you right or left brained?

All I got was "45% Left Brained, 55% Right Brained".
So, if I use nearly half of each side,
then why in the world can't I see it turn anti-clockwise?
+_+ (Yeah I know... so what?... get over it)





The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning.
Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others.
If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic.
Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet.

The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility.
Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way.
If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art.
Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports.



I've always envied the left-handed people.
When I was much younger, I would secretly pretend I was a left-handed writer
But, my handwriting would always turn out horrible although readable.
Back then, I never thought for the reason why..
Why I wanted to be like them.
Was it because I wanted to be different?
(most people are right-handed after all)
I love the fact that these people are more artistic than others.
I still don't really know why.



But I do know that eventually,
Envy thoughts melted into actions.
Dared one's self to work hard just to be like them.
So, instead of being the original "always attuned to facts",
I fostered the art and music side too.
I hated those when I was young because to me,
Those (music and art) are really tough subjects to master.
Hated maths but due to the usual constraint of needing to get good grades,
It's more of a forced action just to get it done with.
Soon, I was more right-brained than I originally was.
Writing poems, songs, drawing, designing, singing, sports.. you get the point.

My friends still see that "stick to the facts" attitude going strong..
Yet I do not mind listening or even see other sides of things.
They work hand-in-hand.. both sides.
It's.... interesting.

Khai, he's left-handed.
Probably why he's so good in concocting plans of sorts especially in games..
And excel in sports too.
As I would always say,
As much as I'm grateful for being a multi-tasker,
in being able to do anything I put my mind into,
I will always envy those who are very strong in one or a few tasks.
They excel wonderfully in that niche segment of theirs.
So, yeah, I will always envy my bf for his gifts.





If you can make use of both side effectively,
You don't really need to know how much of either you use.
