I'm a right brained person. I have known it all along- where I excelled in creating poems out of words, my sister bested her own score in Super Mario each time she played. Each time I would take the joystick I'd make such a mess-because my hand-to-eye co ordination was pathetic. While I would struggle with the controls, my sister and mother would collapse in heaps of giggles. It was the same story with learning to drive. After days of unsuccessful attempts and sneering jibes and months of why-didn't-you-stop-at-the-placemarker-you-killed-the-pedestrian, I finally gave up. Who wants to drive anyways, I thought- what are drivers for- and i've been extremely lucky to have been blessed with a driver all my working life.
Another manifestation of my right brain-ness is my high school marksheet. Topping the school in English- to barely scraping past in Math. I hated Math and all it's branches- and secretly was pleased when they didn't lay too much emphasis on it for the MICA written exam. Analytical abilities are tops- cause I realised it's just interpretation of English- but pure Math? No way!
But as the years progressed and so did my station in life- I was faced with the daunting task of interpreting sales numbers on excel, having to head a small-ish empire. That's when I think, my un-used left brain decided to take over.
Now I'm proud to say, that I have a balanced head on my shoulders!
