Featured and released. The fact that they have been stigmatized historically (see separate note), that they have to travel or pay more to get instruments suitable to their laterality, and that even using a can opener is more difficult than for ordinary mortals, has not prevented them from Lefties stand out in virtually every area. In addition to Hendrix, Cerati and Knopfler, the rock world has illustrious lefties like Kurt Cobain and two of the four Beatles: Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. The greatest idol in the history of Peñarol, Fernando Morena, got tired of scoring goals with his left leg, as did the last tricolor God, Álvaro Recoba. Since you are in football, Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi - both candidates for the best player of all time - are left-handed, Argentine and full of magic. Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig Van Beethoven were left-handed, Vincent Van Gogh too; so do Napoleon, Aristotle, Benjamin Franklin, Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci, and Marilyn Monroe. Even in very different environments, these are people who have done their best. That fueled the idea that lefties are smarter and more creative than righties. However, the Spanish Neurology Society recalled in 2017 that there is no scientific study serious and comprehensive enough to ensure that. What there is, they added, is hardly any allusions to some "especially brilliant" left-handed person. However, a 2006 study by two Australian scientists, published in the journal Neuropsychology, noted that members of this minority "process information on both sides of the brain faster", which made them especially suitable in video games and sports. . In the opposite sense, a research carried out by Harvard University in 2014 assured that -as a variant of the gender pay gap- left-handers have 12% lower incomes than right-handers. If you have to mention lefties with money, the examples of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, ultra-millionaires and computer geniuses are worth it. In sports, the speed of information processing pointed out by that Australian study may explain why baseball, cricket and table tennis are ideal sports for them, according to a 2017 study in the journal Biology Letters. In any case, in any discipline that involves a one-on-one, such as tennis or boxing, a southpaw is a right-hander's nightmare, precisely because he is not used to dealing with someone who reacts "the other way around", something that puzzles them more than they are willing to admit. Not for nothing, Rafael Nadal is Roger Federer's nemesis, just as Rod Laver is the only player to win all four Grand Slam titles (twice) and Martina Navratilova dominated the women's circuit for a decade. Among the fighters, Marvin Hagler and Manny Pacquiao are among the most prominent (there is the temptation to name Rocky Balboa, but that is only the most notorious of fictional boxers).
