Over theyears, a theory that has gained in popularity is that the right brain and the left brain areresponsible for different modes of thought and that the way in which a person thinks willdepend on which side of his b
3、rain works more actively.People who rely more heavilyon the right half of their brain tend to be more imaginative andspontaneous. They are interested in patterns, shapes and sizes, for the right brain is associatedwithartisticability like singing, painting,Writing poetry, etc. Left-brain dominated p

Theytend to be more logical and analyticalin their thinking and usually stand out in mathematicsand word skills.While the different functions of the two brain parts may have beendistorted and exaggeratedby popular psychology, understanding you strengths

I told her these things often because she didnt see herself this way,despite achieving great success and acclaim(稱贊)in her professional field.

11、en walk a very difficult line. Of course, contextmatters. Ina professional setting, talking about appearance is often inappropriate, but at a singles club, itmay be important. She will be very pleased if a man thinks her cloths and accessoriesare pretty,or her hair looks wonderful. However, things i
12、n between these two cases are unclear. Womenhave every right to be recognized andappreciatedor their intelligence and creativity. But at thesame time, they want to be admired for their looks as well, for example, their perfect skincomplexionand elegant outfits.Unfortunately, most guys dont understan
13、d this. If we receive compliments from women,theyre usually about our achievements, not our looks. Most of us don t expect a woman to tellus how handsome or sexy we are, and some of us would find it hard to regard such a (an)commentas sincere.Im not saying its very hard to be a guy these days. It is
14、 important for every man tounderstand how to treat women with both respect and admiration. But as far as the rightbalance of these two is concerned, we really have no frame of reference, especially when itcomes to looks.2.
