Are you a left brainer or right brainer?


This book is really a very good read I must say, highly recommended...I was stuck for a while, leaving aside my work and the TV that I was glued onto;PPP
However, you need some patience if you are reading page by page from the start...as I was kind of in a 'rushing' mood...I speed through the pages, and as it is divided into sections with clear titles...I dived into those titles and sections of paragraphs that interest me most (but the whole book is essentially linked, so must read the whole book if you have the time - some 250 pages)
basically it is telling that we are now moving from the Information Age into the Conceptual Age (this will be the 21st century)...for a 'recap' if you've forgotten your history and sciences for a while...mankind / civilization has moved from Agricultural Age to Industrial Age to Information Age and now we are moving into a whole new age altogether...it is backed up by many..what I'll call... 'supporting evidence'...and indeed when I'm reading I find myself agreeing with so most of the 'arguement' with the reality in today's world...!!!!
and if you're still wondering what I'm saying...*am I not an idiot to be so bad at describing?;PPP hehe, I admit I am, really;PP*...it is basically saying that humans, to survive well in time to come...need to be equiped with not only intelligence ...nope, not good enuf if we are good in sciences, maths and calculations, physics, computer and programming knowlege etc...but we need to have the artistic side of things as well...so art is really coming up...things must not only be good and functional but they must be beautiful, artistic as well...and so it means that we as humans, the creators of things and services have to live up to that...so well...as the author suggests... go get your Mozart's or Tchaikowsky piece of music...or go admire (try to at least:PPPP) Picasso's or Van Gogh's painting...try look for negative spaces at objects that you see everyday, make jokes, be humourous...to exercise and use more of your right brain...heck I better do these myself tooo;PPPP....and hey, if you are a left handed person...congrats...you're one level higher;PPPP hehehe...*and how frustrating when mum said that she 'corrected' me when I was young as I started writing with my left hand...sigh, she stopped me from exercising my right brain!!!..at least more..!!*
...sigh, no...my work comes first...%$@#

i think if you continue writing with your left hand...
you might not be in the field you are now... heheh... i heard that left-handers are not that passionate in science and maths...
altho i'm not passionate bout those too but i'm not a left hander... hee...
