I've decided that I need to stop using my right arm and become proficient with my left. How long do you figure it will take? Instinctively I high five people or reach for things or lean on that arm, so I need to abandon it, strap it down and begin using the other one. I tried brushing my teeth with my left hand this morning and it didn't go well. Water and toothpaste everywhere. My spaz factor was at 11. I wounded my gums.
I've got some great ambidextrous inspirations: Michelangelo, Einstein, Tesla, Leonardo da Vinci. Very arty and sciency dudes. And I'm not 100% sure, but if Escher wanted to his ability kept secret, he shouldn't have given us things like this:
M.C. Escher 1948 |
Plus? I'm pretty sure that I could become a superhero if I were ambidextrous. Less than 1% of the population is ambidextrous - which if we had accurate statistics on superheroes would probably reflect EXACTLY the same percentage!! Or is that super models? Me becoming a super model would take a bit more time and money I'm thinking. The recuperation time alone from adding extra 3 inches to my torso and legs would be at least a couple of months. Probably not as much fun as being a super hero either. But step one is definitely the ambidextrous thing, regardless. Which, seeing as I've already achieved mad touch typing skills, I'm well on my way!
