No.2 Bill Gates 比爾·蓋茨
Claiming the nation's richest man among their number is a source of considerable pride for America's society of southpaws. In fact, the Microsoft titan and philanthropist is one of a surprising number of U.S. business moguls to be left-handed, including Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller and former IBM head Lou Gerstner. But the club seems to be a guys-only fraternity-- research suggests that while left-handed men tend to earn more than their right-handed colleagues, there is no similar advantage for women. A study by the National Bureau of Economic Research floated the idea that left-handed men favor "divergent" thinking, a form of creativity in which the brain moves "from conventional knowledge into unexplored association." Maybe that's what it takes to develop a net worth estimated at billion.
包括美國第一首富在內(nèi)的這一人群,是美國左撇子最引以為豪的。事實(shí)上,這位微軟巨頭兼慈善家僅僅只是美國商界左撇子巨賈中的一位,如福特、洛克菲勒和前IBM總裁郭士納都是左撇子。不過美國商界的左撇子團(tuán)體似乎是一個(gè)“女士止步”的男士聯(lián)誼會(huì),研究表面,盡管男性的左撇子商人要比右撇子盈利更多,但是這條規(guī)律卻不適合于女性。美國國家經(jīng)濟(jì)研究所指出,左撇子男士更青睞于“發(fā)散性”思維,這是一種創(chuàng)造性的思維方式,使大腦“從傳統(tǒng)的知識(shí)轉(zhuǎn)移到未曾探知的聯(lián)想中去”。也許正是這樣的一種思維方式創(chuàng)造了一張價(jià)值約估為570億美元的“網(wǎng)絡(luò)”。
