Your Brain.

With my parents and sisters here during the weekend, there definitely isn't time for me to update my blog. But still, a sacrifice that is much worth it, i dare say. My weekend was full of spending time with my family, hanging out with some classmates, prayer sessions, Math Olympiad, parent teacher meeting and of course, preparation for my esl presentation. Still did so badly after preparing for it. Pretty obvious that I just can't do presentations. *Makes mental note to NOT do any jobs which involve presentations in the future.*

I've been wondering about what I'll write for this post, and then I came across an e-mail which was quite interesting. I pretty much just stared at it for a full 3 minutes.

Clockwise? Anti-clockwise?

This was what was written:

If you see the lady turning clockwise, you're using your right brain.
If you see it the other way, you are using left brain.
Some people do see both ways, but most people see it only one way.

Right brain thinkers: uses feeling, “big picture” oriented, imagination rules, symbols and images, present and future, philosophy & religion, can “get it” (i.e. meaning), believes, appreciates, spatial perception, knows object function, fantasy based, presents possibilities, impetuous, risk taking

Left brain thinkers: uses logic, detail orientedfacts rule, words and language, present and past, math and science, can comprehend, knowing, acknowledges, order/pattern perception, knows object name, reality based, forms strategies, practical, safe.

This was proved at Yale University , over a 5 year study on the human brain and it's functions.

Try changing it's direction voluntarily. It's kinda cool.
