Left-handers, in general, are individualistic, creative, intuitive, holistic and image-oriented. They are strategic thinkers. They have unusually good musical memories and are good at recalling pitch. And because of their exceptional sense of distance and proportion, lefties also excel in the fields of art and architecture.<BR><BR>Such qualities could explain why so many left-handers - past and present - have risen to greatness and have undeniably \"left\" their mark on history. They include: Alexander the Great, Caesar, Joan de Arc, Charlemagne, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Napoleon, Queen Victoria, Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein, composers Philipp Emanuel Bach and Maurice Ravel, U.S. Presidents Harry Truman, Gerald Ford and George Bush, baseball´s Babe Ruth, tennis stars Jimmy Connors and Martina Navratilova, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, musicians Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan, actors Charlie Chaplin, Robert Redford, Whoopi Goldberg and Emma Thompson, Amitabh and late-night talk show host Jay Leno.<BR><BR>And what about the famous lefties who were forced to switch hands? They include gangster Al Capone, Winston Churchill, World War II General George Patton and Erwin Rommel, Ronald Reagan and Marilyn Monroe. Some might think only left-handers are really in their right minds.<BR><BR>But then, some things are probably better left unsaid. <BR><BR>
