"Right brains rock"

I personally think that right brained people are some of the most misunderstood people in the world. Sure we visualise the goal before the objectives are in place - so what. The idea that a creative person can never develop their left brain is bull dust. I am dominantly right brained but if I do IQ and other personality tests that the university insists on doing at all their so called 'team building' events, its very easy to manipulate them using my left brain. The last time I came out 50% left and 50% right, top creative, top managerial - they were shocked, not possible, not common. Well what did they think, I am not a space specimen in Roswell to be dissected. Somethings need to remain hidden. I am not a fool - those tests often determine your career path. Today I sit in a senior post, managing the training and the computer centre and give it my best shot. Thank goodness a large chunk of my work includes being creative.

Right brained people are the 'dreamers' of this world, but if determined enough can use their left side to make dreams a reality, we just work backwards. We are loners but are the seed planters in the brains of the lefties, who work out the technical, mathematical steps to create a new world.

We need each other for balance. The hardest part of our existence is getting the left brainers to accept us, as is, for who we are and stop trying to make us into something we are not. I am so tired of people telling me I am not a 'team player', 'I don't bring people on board'. Sigh!! How can you bring someone on-board right at the start when they are looking at 'step one' and you can see the 'final step' already materialised. It's not that they are not 'on-board' or that you have started something without them - its just that in your mind you have already seen the end product. If the worst comes to the worst - Right Brainers can go it alone and still come out on top.

As my director once said, after moaning at me again for moving alone - "just do the thing - its easier to say sorry than get permission". I really miss him sitting in the USA. He was a secret right brain acting as a left brain - pity. Today he is zooming around the USA on a really big bike experiencing the freedom of wind in his hair.

So for all of you 'right brains' out there - keep dreaming you never know what you will generate that will make the world a better place of all to live in. PS Left brains be patient with us - we have the creative mind of God when He created Eden. If you learn to 'tap into our thoughts' you may find something to work with that will revolutionize your world.
