Whenever I see someone's good handwriting, I carry an instant good impression for the person. Throughout my school days, me and my friends used to compete how we can control our handwriting - trying out many wild ways - slants, curls, curves, et al ad we loved it. It was never academic but felt really good and satisfying. We've also seen other schools whose students had really good handwriting. Love them, appreciated them and we would secretly try to be better than them.

I guess that paid off in the long run. No many people really give much importance to handwriting, more so these days but I feel nice writing and still try to write as much as I can (always have few notebooks with me at all times + a bunch of pens and pencils). Besides the appreciations I usually get, I like the fact that people admire that I dedicate to writing too besides my involvement with technology and that I stayed in touch with the art of writing.

I'm trying to inculcate a similar habit with my kid - write beautiful, and master the intricacies of handwriting - it is lovely, sweet, sophisticated, classical and clean.
