​People born in July are special in their own way!

Since you have clicked on this article, we believe you are either a July baby or have someone near and dear who was born in this month. Well, such people have got their own set of traits that make them stand out in the crowd. They view life from their own lens and have got a charming personality. We have pulled out some interesting findings about them from researches done all across the globe and a few of them would actually take you by surprise. Read on…

2/7

​They are super optimistic!

People born in July always look at the brighter side of everything. If there are hundred things going haywire around them, you would see them smiling at the one thing that might be going right. In fact, research suggests that these people see a glass always half full and have a tendency to be ‘excessively positive’.

3/7

​They are in the league of famous people

The month July got its name from famous Roman leader Julius Caesar who was born on July 12 or 13th and his name is etched in the history of the Roman Empire. But guess what? He’s just a part of the long list of influential people born in this month. Other remarkable people born in this month include Nelson Mandela, Princess Diana, US presidents (John Quincy Adams, Calvin Coolidge, Gerald Ford and George W. Bush). Talking about Indian celebrities, actors Priyanka Chopra and Ranveer Singh, former cricketer Sourav Ganguly, ex-business tycoon JRD Tata, writer Jhumpa Lahiri, singer Kailash Kher are also part of this special league.

4/7

​When it comes to handling emotions

According to a study done in Japan, people born in summer and spring are calm and composed by nature. In fact, they practice ‘effective control’ (the ability to voluntarily choose course of actions during conflict and to plan for the future) than the ones born in autumn or winter by the time they turn 18 months old.

5/7

​Higher education

According to a study done in the UK, people born in this month are less likely to pursue higher education degrees. The experts link this logic to the fact that July borns are the youngest in the classes. We are sure the optimist July borns would take this finding with a pinch of salt. If predicting future would have been this easier, all of us would have been billionaires, right?

6/7

​They are taller

A study concluded that babies born in this month tend to have higher average birth rate than the ones born in other seasons. Not just this, they grow taller than their counterparts. Now, all those born in the other months can complain to their parents about their height and blame the month!

7/7

​They are more likely to be left-handed

Researches have concluded that people born between March to July are more likely to be left-handed, and the ones born between August to February are more likely to be right-handed. Interestingly, the experts linked this finding to ‘seasonal variation in other factors such as the incidence of infectious agents’.
