40% of millionaires do not know how to read

The latest study of British doctors showed that many rich suffer from dyslexia. This means that they are extremely collected from separate letters of the word, read and write.

The number of dyslexics among the financially successful people reaches 40%, while only every tenth person suffers on average this syndrome, reports DailyRepord .

Scientists explain the successes of dyslexics by the fact that, not knowing how to delve into details, such people got the opportunity to better see the phenomenon as a whole, the general picture of what is happening, and can generate truly original ideas.

The second reason is an underlying sense of inferiority, which makes them strive for more, constantly prove something to themselves and fight. The business specialist Adrian Atkinson notes that "the vast majority of people who earned millions had a difficult childhood."

Perhaps the most famous British rich man, suffering from dyslexia, is Sir Richard Branson, head of the Virgin telecommunication company. “I knew that I could not pass the entrance exam, so I took up other things,” he confirms the hypothesis of British scientists.

Another example of, of course, a successful person suffering from dyslexia is the American actor Tom Cruise. In the left -hander volume of Cruz, dyslexia developed after he was tried to force him to write with his right hand. Its colleague Keanu Reeves - the most highly paid actor Hollywood - is also difficult to read.

Last year, the Swedish Crown Princess Victoria admitted that she could not read .

Simply put, in the "architecture" of the brain there is a difference that causes the difficulty of "decoding" the meaning of the printed word.

It is known that the process of reading the brain of women and men is realized differently. Doctors found that boys suffer from dyslexia 2-3 times more often than girls. Unfortunately, methods of treating this disease, unfortunately, does not yet exist.

Dyslexia suffered many brilliant people. In particular, Winston Churchill, Hans Christian Andersen, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, were sick with her.
