No fixed answer
Since when did you start to use chopsticks? This the question I asked my college English teacher. He told me that he used chopsticks about ten years ago when he tried at a Chinese rstrautant in his hometown. He is an American and speaks little Chinese. Before travelling around the world, he was a programmer and now some of his codes are still working in those softwares once he cooperated and developed with colleagues. Mostly we are righthanded by resorting to right hands to use chopsticks. While he can just be fine by using either of his hands.I feel it interesting and have tried many times and failed to use in left hand .
That may be the reason we are just asked to use right hands whenever we try to use something, chopsticks, a pen, a racket and so forth. So we get used to it. He does not has that problem since no one else ever pushed him to use his right hand to pick up chopsticks. Then he found it fine trying his left hand. There is no absolute and fixed routine for us to answer a question. Usually we just feel it stuck at something because we believe it does not work beyond our understanding. The fact is there are so many answers we can try to solve out. If possible I will ask him again: "How do you use hands to hold fork and knife to eat innokin disrupter?"
Once I was taught to shoot a basketball to score. Under the coach's instructions, first I used right hand to hold the ball and finally had it throw into the basket. Some days later, I was pushed by a defender to the corner where I got no ideal angle to shoot. What the hell, no members were there I could pass them my ball. Then I just used the left hand trying to shoot by changing another postion. I took a fake action by cheating that defender and switched the ball to left hand. Shooting! Scored with three points.I did not know what on earth I got that incredible shooting, but I knew it is better than no trial. Then I realized the left hand is also ok for shooting and holding a ball .
If there is a dead end, it must be something wrong. Change and have another try. Whatever a pair of chopsticks or a single ball, we can have different ways to figure out which we have never tried before.
