It's a good thing to know. It's the difference between driving
around a town you don't know so well and driving around the town with
a road map. It's the difference between playing the piano from memory
and playing the piano with sheet music. It's like cooking from
scratch verses cooking with a recipe. Maybe you can do anything
without directions or a guidebook, but if you are unsure, well,
having something you can look at for cues (clues); it helps a lot if
you need it.

The left side (hemisphere) is a lot larger than the right side and is
called the dominant side of the brain.
The right side (hemisphere) is the smaller brain and is called the
nondominant side.

It's interesting that in some people, where their corpus callosum
membrane (which connects the two sides of the brain) is damaged, the
two sides of the brain can't communicate with each other, and
sometimes two sets of thinking can be going on simultaneously. The
two can't work together and two minds can be going at once.
When I was a teacher and learned about education theory, I was taught
that there were left brain thinkers and right brain thinkers.

The left brain is considered to be linear, logical, verbal,
mathematical, and analytical. The right brain is considered to be
holistic, intuitive, nonverbal, concrete, musical, and creative.

I believe all of these things to be true (that's a right brain
thought, I do believe.)

My left brain sequentially wrote this, but my right brain helped out
alot. Knowing that I had a seriously right brain injury has helped me
a lot.
