We are met with differences everywhere. Knowing the differences
is extremely important to our physical and mental health
A doctor in an Eastern country would first ask a person how they are doing and what else is going on in their life before they give them medicine. A doctor in a Western country would just ask them what their symptoms were and then give them medicine.
The left and right brain functions are responsible for differences in people and the way they process information. Whether you use your left brain and right brain together or have a dominant half explains a great deal about how you learn and express yourself. Although many people think artists are right-brained, this isn’t always the case. For example, some artists plot out their paintings long before the first brush stroke, which would indicate left-brained planning.

Right-Brainers prefer an overview or a general understanding of the big picture first. They tend to be more conceptual and visual rather than logical. For this very reason, Right-Brainers tend to remember a person’s face, but not always his name.
When it comes to work, the right-brain dominant person is more likely to experiment with something new and figure out how it works rather than break out the instruction manual right away.
Her office may have the appearance of disorganization, with piles of paperwork and few systems in place. But don’t discount this as a failure! Right-Brainers have an uncanny ability to pull things off at the last minute. They rarely need to plan out every detail of a trip or vacation, unlike their Left-Brain friends who feel more comfortable with the details.
Right-Brainers are more impulsive in that way and can enjoy a surprise trip. They are open to seeing what’s appealing when they arrive at their new destination.
