"The chairs of educational institutions, keyboards, applications on cell phones and most of the things that we use in our daily life are designed mostly for right-handed people," claimed Shakila Parvin Bristy.
However, there are some advantages that left-handed people enjoy. "The thought process and activities of a left-hander are more dominated by the right side of their brain, unlike right-handers. As a result, they can write or work faster than the right-handers," said Shakila Parvin Bristy
She also said that because of family pressure or social norms, some of the left-handers even learn how to work with both hands, which eventually makes them ambidextrous and helps them to multitask. The family pressure for becoming right-handers, social myths and superstitions regarding them makes their life difficult at times and needs to be discouraged.
To break the stigma, she provided a list of left-handed persons who became famous, that included Angelina Jolie, Sachin Tendulkar, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and many others.
