This claim is still up for debate as there is not enough scientific debate to confirm it.

Have an advantage at sports:

With everyone else learning to play for and against with their right side, left-handed people have the advantage of confusing the opponent and being absolute star players in sporting events against other teams or individuals.

They are especially over-represented in fighting sports like boxing and other martial arts.

Better at verbal communication:

According to surveys conducted, lefties seem to be better at verbal communication than right-handed people. These studies also say lefties have a cognitive advantage which makes it easier for them to understand and respond in an appropriate manner.

Happy left-handers day!
