Ambidextrous anyone?
The other day I saw one of my co-workers juggling out in the parking lot; and we talked about it a bit...she told me that juggling helps you to be able to use both hands in an equal capacity...something I've never thought of...
I know as we were growing up we were discouraged to use our left hand, for some reason parents wanted you to be right-handed...I wonder why that was/is?

I'm right handed, but I play golf and hockey left handed. I can write left handed and I can throw left handed. I guess you can call me ambidextrous. I think it's kinda cool  |

Re:
I was predominantly left handed when I was little but switched to using my right hand for most everything because all the other kids were right handed. I don't know if I'm ambidextrous by nature but I can do most things with both hands.

I can do some things with both hands but primarily I'm right handed. Why would she be working at wanting to be able to use both hands equally? I know people do that but I've never figured out the benefit other than the once in a lifetime when a person may break a wrist or arm.

Apparently you are then able to do two things at the same time... |

I am primarily right handed but in Taekwondo we have to learn to use both hands for our weapons and board breaking. You never know when a bad guy is going to grab your good arm and you need to straighten him out with your left.
