In an overly simplified exclamation, the left-brain (the left hemisphere of the brain) is generally associated with linear thinking or logic. People who are good with reading and math are generally considered left-brain dominant. The right-brain (the right hemisphere of the brain) is more spatially oriented. People who are good with art, music and color are more right-brain dominant. In reality, it takes both sides to function, but you get the idea.
For many years, I have studied the subject of education and how we learn. Do you know that when we are born, we have an undivided brain? It is not until we are four or five years old that our brains have split into two hemispheres – a right side and left side. Our current educational system caters to those are more left-brain that right-brain dominant.
Creativity Makes You Rich
Understanding the functions of the left-brain and the right-brain is important because creativity has the power to make us very rich.
Real estate and business, on the other hand, are ideal for right-brain people. In fact, the more creative you are, the better your chances of becoming rich.
Creative people don’t need to be motivated by anyone else. They motivate themselves. They listen to and use both sides of their brains for maximum potential. They find inspiration instead of waiting for it. And they use their brains in the biggest way possible.
…When I’m working on a project, I am very focused, but I am also open to new ideas and inspiration that might come along.

Safe bets every restaurant
Although some restaurants list nutrition info on their menus or websites, most of the time it’s a guessing game. These are usually the healthiest picks.
At a Chinese restaurant Egg drop or wonton soup to start, anything steamed with sauce on the side (shrimps, vegetables or chicken with broccoli and garlic) and brown rice.
At a diner Egg-white omelet with spinach, tomatoes and feta (or turkey bacon) with whole-wheat toast, or open-face (leave half the bun) veggie or turkey burger with Cheddar: fruit salad or side salad with vinaigrette.
At an Indian restaurant Tandoori chicken or shrimp with raita yogurt sauce; whole-wheat roti bread.
At an Italian restaurant Tricolore salad, insalata mista or minestone soup to start: baked, broiled or grilled fish or chicken entrée (like Chicken Scarpariello or Marsala).
At a Mexican restaurant Fajitas ( steak, chicken, shrimp, veggie) with 1-2 tortillas and a dab of sour cream, or grilled fish soft tacos with salsa.
At a pizzeria 1-2 pieces of thin crust pizza piled with veggie toppings: salad on the side.
