Do You Want to be Ambidextrous?

Writing with both hands is one way and probably the easy way. I figured it won’t be tough to write with both hands. Afterall, being kids we learned one way. Sure enough you could learn to write with the another hand too.

Turns out it can be done.

I tried to write with my left hand and boom, I could write pretty well. The only thing lacking was the speed. Which could be practiced and mastered. The hand pained a lot, but in the end of writing few paragraphs, I felt awesome. I shared this with my colleagues and now sharing with you guys. When you accomplish something — you feel the urgency to share and get a pat. Maybe that’s how humans have developed — one looking for the praise to feel better about self.

Whatever you see in the image above is the my writing by left hand. (I am right handed obviously)

2 Things to Learn

You could give a try to almost anything which seems difficult, hard to reach or unimaginable. Because you will get a reference point of where you belong and how much hard work you need to bring to the table.

Sometimes all you need is the desire to try something off the shelf. Maybe its advantage won’t seem evident immediately. But the habit will pay off itself in the long run.

Well, I do that in another way. I write the different parts of letters and each different letter of a word at the same time. I’ve already made a video about my skill.

I’d give my right arm to be ambidextrous….
It would be interesting to see if you could write with both hands at the same time while writing different things.
