174) A recent study suggests that people who are left-handed are more likely to succeed

in business than are right-handed people. Researchers studied photographs of 1,000

prominent business executives and found that 21 percent of these executives wrote with

their left hand. So the percentage of prominent business executives who are left-handed

(21 percent) is almost twice the percentage of people in the general population who are

left-handed (11 percent). Thus, people who are left-handed would be well advised to
