Hi,
I am left handed. I use my right hand only for eating and moving mouse. In Indian tradition we use our right hand to eat food. And even Right hand is used for all right kind of work liking shaking hands with Right Hand, Giving and taking money with right hand. Left hand is used for doing some odd works like cleaning shoes etc...
I have lots of Right Handed and left handed friends. But one difference I have seen between the people who are left and right handed are
1) I think left handed people start with more confidence with less over sight without perfect planning and do you know they don't completely loose and some times they even win. But if you take a right handed guy he thinks more before starting to do anything. Some they are so scared of the result that they won't start any thing at all.
2) But more successful friends of mine are Right Handed.

This comparision is what I have seen in my friend circle.
So let me know what do you feel of this.

If you have faith in the cause and
the means and in God, the hot
Sun will be cool for you.
