be ambidextrous

I hear they give scholarships if you’re ambidextrous! Plus ambidextrous probably comes in handy in some occasion or if you’re trying to show off.

I’ve been writing with both hands since elementary. Scribbles to clear writing.

I will be trying to put this into practice, but for now, I really want to leave on my profile page those goals which I am working on to complete 100 percent.

I added this goal because I do believe that using my left hand will stimulate my right brain hemisphere more. And I want to be more creative. I have tried writing with my left hand, with disastrous results. But when I am doing housework or moving objects around, I am trying to use my left hand more.

One wants the ability to take pens in both hands and write backwards and forwards simultaneously. (You either have the skill or you don’t.) If you can do this, you begin the heady access to the world of Leonardo. Bon voyage!

My dad is a lefty, in that he writes left-handed, but he’s semi-ambidextrous. I wonder if a lot of lefties are, simply because the rest of the world teaches them to do things right-handed. By nature I’m a righty, but I learned a lot of things left-handed because of my dad. I play hockey left-handed and can bat either. Plus, I played piano and video games as a kid, so I figure I’ve got a decent start.

Right now I’ve been working on eating with my left hand. I work through dinner and lunch at the computer a lot and I’m finding this to be extremely useful, although a little frustrating. I don’t have to stop what I’m doing to take a bite. My left handwriting is deplorably slow, but mostly legible. One of my favorite things is to ask people, especially guys, to throw with their non-dominant hand. The result? Throwing like a girl. It’s pretty amusing.

I’ve moved my mouse to my left hand side – didn’t take long to get used to this. Trying to switch other things in a similar fashion. Oddly, my wife thinks my left handed writing is almost as good as my right (but painfully slow), but that is more a comment on the atrociousness of my normal handwriting rather than my left hand being good (a couple of months ago she saw something I had written in a book when I was 5 and thought it looked the same – she is a primary school teacher so should know!)

It’d be cool I guess, but I don’t plan on losing my left arm during my lifetime. I’m dropping this from my list…

i don’t know if this applies to your feet, but i play soccer and my left foot is not as good as i want it to be. A while a go i injured my right foot but still played and used my left foot. over the few weeks i began to get pretty good with the left but after my right healed i return to using it all the time. I need to improve my left.

i would love to be able to do everything with either hand
that would just rock
to be able to choose what one i would rather use.
