Isn`t it somehow quiet on Friday, 13… Today, by the way, Left-Handed Day is celebrated. Who remembers the practice of «retraining» in schools? There was a time when those who had this small difference were looked down upon. And today the left-handed celebrate their special day
Left-Handed Day was celebrated in 1992 at the initiative of the British Left-Handed Club. The main purpose of the holiday was to draw attention to the production of goods that will be easy to use for people who find it easier to work with the left hand. A fairly simple way to make people’s lives better has become a holiday. Left-handed has been credited with many special qualities, and there are even neurobiological studies that prove some of them. However, one thing is certain: among those born left-handed, there are many talented people and even movie stars. The list of stars who are left-handed is headed by the talented Angelina Jolie.
The actress felt her «feature» during the filming of «Lara Croft – Tomb Raider», when Angelina had to pick up special guns that she could quickly reload with her left hand. Sarah Jessica Parker is also left-handed. Most attentive viewers were able to learn about this from the movie «Sex and the City», when the heroine, journalist Carrie Bradshaw, made notes with her left hand. Statistics show that most left-handed are born under the sign of twins. Believe it or not – it’s everyone’s business. But the confirmation of this hypothesis is Scarlett Johansson. The actress considers herself happy because she is on the list of famous left-handed. She believes that due to this feature she has a special thinking and many talents. The actor of the movie «Strong Nut» Bruce Willis did not even hide that he is left-handed.
The most attentive viewers noticed that the star in the films never shot with his right hand, and while working in the film «Hudson Hawk» he wrote with his left. However, Bruce had to overpower himself and play the right-hander: to star in the movie «Sixth Sense», the star had to train for a long time to have the right hand no worse than the left. Hollywood actress of Ukrainian origin Mila Jovovych even came in handy on the set, because one of her heroines, Jeanne d’Arc, was also a left-handed – then the star did not have to change the «main» hand in the film. However, the actress has long learned to own the right hand equally skillfully with the left, although in everyday life Mila is one hundred percent left-handed.
People have long understood that being left-handed is not good or bad, sometimes it’s just a matter of convenience. It turns out that the beginning of Left-Handed Day attracted attention to small features, and many people found it easier and more comfortable to live: today children from an early age work with the hand that makes it easier for them to do it, they even invented special pens, special scissors and non-standard computer mouse. It remains only to congratulate on the holiday of left-handed people you know!
